A Brit who is a long time resident of Germany posted that "ICE is not the equivalent to the Gestapo, it is the equivalent to the SA".
The actions of the SA were sufficiently egregious, and they had become a political threat to German intelligentsia, that the Party patrons and the military pushed the leadership to clamp down.
In July 1933, the party security forces decapitated the leadership of the SA.
