Gruppe Hochland (Sturmabteilung)

SA-Gruppe Hochland (SA-Group Highland), was an organizational unit of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the largest paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party. SA-Gruppe Hochland was established in May 1931 and existed during the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany. It operated in southern Bavaria with its headquarters in Munich. For most of its history, this unit was commanded by Wilhelm Helfer. Other notable members of the unit included Fritz Ritter von Kraußer, Karl von Eberstein, Johann Baptist Fuchs, and Wilhelm Schmid, among others. Several of the unit's officers were extrajudicially killed by the Schutzstaffel (SS) during the Night of the Long Knives between June 30 and July 2, 1934. At the end of the Second World War, the unit was disbanded along with the rest of the SA.
