Night of the Long Knives

Documentary

Synopsis

Over two days in 1934, Adolf Hitler and his senior staff carried out the capture and execution of Ernst Roehm, along with other senior leaders of the Sturmabteilung (SA) and possibly around 1,000 others who were seen as enemies or threats to his control of Germany. With his authority consolidated, the process of Germany's expansion could begin.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
