Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The statement to evaluate is: 'By 1933 the Brown Shirts had more members than the military and police force in Germany combined.'
Option 1: True. In the early 1930s, the Sturmabteilung (SA), also known as the Brown Shirts, experienced rapid growth as the Nazi movement expanded. By 1933, estimates often place SA membership in the low millions, far exceeding the number of individuals serving in the regular German military (Reichswehr) and the active police forces combined. The Reichswehr was limited by the Treaty of Versailles to about 100,000, and even when adding police under state and national control, the total did not approach the SA’s size. Therefore, the claim that the SA surpassed both the army and police combined is historically plausible and supported by the comparative scale of paramilitary organization versus formal state security forces at that time.
Option 2: False. This would claim the SA did not exceed the combined strength of the military and police. This is inconsistent with the magnitude of SA recruitment and popular support for the Nazi movement in the early 1930s, which allowed the SA to swell to numbers well above the small regular army and police totals. Therefore, this option misstates the relative sizes.
In sum, the reasoning supports that the statement is true, given the relative sizes of the SA versus the Reichswehr and police by 1933, while the false option incorrectly asserts otherwise.
