Hitler tore open the door, fell on Rohm as he lay on the bed, grabbed him by the throat and screamed, “you are under arrest, you pig!” Then he turned him over to the SS Extracts fro Alfred Rosenbergs diary. He was a leading Nazi politician. Hitler claimed that 61 had been executed while 13 had been shot resisting arrest and three had committed suicide. Others have argued that as many as 400 people were killed during the purge.
