Hitler orders the Night of the Long Knives murders

From 30 June 1934 Hitler ordered the killing of Ernst Röhm and other SA leaders, plus Schleicher and others not in the SA. A cabinet law of 3 July called the murders lawful. Adolf Hitler's documented role is: He ordered Röhm, Schleicher, and others killed. Göring and Himmler executed parts of the list; a cabinet law later 'legalised' the murders.

Context

The army wanted the SA tamed. Himmler and Göring supplied lists. Sharing the killings with them is required. Hitler personally confronted Röhm. The setting of Hitler orders the Night of the Long Knives murders is the public file around 1934-06-30. Contribution type is direct. Driver justice-judicial-independence-erosion is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

The contribution type is direct. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Why it matters

Worsening justice path of very high weight. Direct. High confidence. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.

Shared responsibility is part of Hitler orders the Night of the Long Knives murders. Naming Adolf Hitler does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters.

Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
