Verwahranstalten mit Fantasiegehältern? Die Hilfswerklager der SA für arbeitslose „alte Kämpfer“

The professional training of the state labour administration did not meet the SA’s demands. Therefore, the SA built its own camps for unemployed comrades in 1933, financed by subsidies from state unemploy-ment insurance funds. While propaganda praised the “purely social purposes” of the auxiliary camps, apparently many “leaders” and inhabitants profited at the expense of the subsidies, that increasingly were left uncontrolled. Finally, it seems that the camps were less intended for professional training than they were about keeping the aggressive SA veterans off the streets so that the NS leadership was untroubled by their own supporters.
