A pre-WWII Nazi German day badge commemorating the inspection of the SA Brigade 77 by Ernst Rohm. The badge prominently features the SA symbol superimposed on a swastika. The event took place on May 13, 1934, a significant date as it was just weeks before the Night of the Long Knives, during which Rohm was arrested and later murdered in a purge orchestrated by Adolf Hitler to consolidate his power.
