Answer: D. Ernst Roehm

Explanation

Ernst Roehm was a founding member of the Nazi Party and commanded its powerful paramilitary wing. Adolf Hitler perceived Roehm and the paramilitary organization as a direct threat to his political control. Consequently, Hitler ordered his execution during a violent purge of political rivals in nineteen thirty four. The Sturmabteilung functioned as the original paramilitary wing that helped Adolf Hitler rise to power. The violent political purge known as the Night of the Long Knives consolidated absolute authority for Hitler. Ernst Roehm had advocated for a second socialist revolution, which alienated traditional German military elites.

Heinrich Himmler served as the chief of the ruthless Schutzstaffel and oversaw the horrific concentration camps. Rudolph Hess acted as a close deputy to Adolf Hitler before flying secretly to Scotland in nineteen forty one. Joseph Goebbels directed Nazi propaganda and mass media operations throughout the duration of the Second World War.
