Suomenkielisessä Wikipediassa:
Vuonna 1925 Röhm erosi SA:n johdosta ja puolueesta, koska hän oli riitautunut Hitlerin kanssa SA:n roolista ja sen suhteesta kansallissosialistiseen puolueeseen. Suoran toiminnan miehenä ja voimakkaana antikapitalistina Röhm ei voinut hyväksyä Hitlerin puolueen laillistamisen jälkeen aloittamaa laillisuuskampanjaa, jossa tämä ilmoitti pyrkivänsä valtaan yksinomaan laillisin ja demokraattisin keinoin. Röhm halusi jatkaa aseellista taistelua, tavoitteena kansallinen vallankumous ja kansallissosialistinen Saksa. Hänen mielestään Hitlerin uusi linja petti kansallissosialistiset ihanteet; se merkitsi halveksittavaa kompromissia suurteollisuuden, valtakunnanarmeijan ja muiden taantumuksellisten valtojen välillä. Koska Röhm ei halunnut tätä, hän vaati, että SA:sta tuli tehdä autonominen järjestö, joka ei ole puoluejohdon (käytännössä Hitlerin) alainen. Tämä näkemys johti Röhmin osin avoimeen vastakkainasetteluun puoluejohdon kanssa.

Englanninkielisessä oli näköjään vähän tarkemminkin:
Along with Joseph Goebbels, Gottfried Feder and Walther Darré, Röhm was a prominent member of the party's "socialist" faction. This group took the words "Sozialistische" and "Arbeiter" ("worker") in the party's name literally. They largely rejected capitalism (which they associated with Jews) and pushed for nationalisation of major industrial firms, expanded worker control, confiscation and redistribution of the estates of the old aristocracy and social equality. Röhm spoke of a "second revolution" against "reactionaries" (the National Socialist label for old-line conservatives), as the National Socialists had previously dealt with the Communists and Socialists.
All this was threatening to the business community, which had supported Hitler's rise to power. So Hitler swiftly reassured businessmen that there would be no "second revolution." Many "storm troopers" were of working-class origins and had expected a socialist programme. In fact, it was often said at the time that members of the SA were like a beefsteak — "brown on the outside and red on the inside". They were now disappointed by the new regime's lack of socialist direction and also failure to provide the lavish patronage expected. Röhm even publicly criticized Hitler for his failure to carry through the National Socialist revolution.

Hitler liked Roehm and initially refused to believe the dossier provided by Heydrich. Roehm had been one of his first supporters and, without his ability to obtain army funds in the early days of the movement, it is unlikely that the Nazis would have ever become established. The SA under Roehm's leadership had also played a vital role in destroying the opposition during the elections of 1932 and 1933.
However, Adolf Hitler had his own reasons for wanting Roehm removed. Powerful supporters of Hitler had been complaining about Roehm for some time. Generals were afraid that the Sturm Abteilung (SA), a force of over 3 million men, would absorb the much smaller German Army into its ranks and Roehm would become its overall leader.
Industrialists, who had provided the funds for the Nazi victory, were unhappy with Roehm's socialistic views on the economy and his claims that the real revolution had still to take place. Many people in the party also disapproved of the fact that Roehm and many other leaders of the SA were homosexuals.
