In part: “… due to my ranking, I should have answered your letter only in four days. But since you want to go to Kapua, where I will not be, I must say that I shall stay for now in Salzburg.

Ernst Röhm was a founding organizer of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the Nazi Party's paramilitary formation, and remained one of Adolf Hitler's earliest and closest associates through the 1920s and early 1930s. During the mid-1920s Röhm worked to rebuild and expand the SA's structure across Bavaria and Austria following the failed 1923 Munich Putsch, traveling extensively to coordinate local party and paramilitary organization. His open homosexuality was widely known within party circles at the time and later became a point of political attack, notably invoked by Hitler as pretext during the June 1934 ”Night of the Long Knives, ” in which Röhm and other SA leaders were purged and executed.
