He is clearly discussing volunteerism, nothing more.
He and his party refused to comment any further on that subject.
He seems concerned that the military is loyal to the Constitution and wants a force loyal to himself as ‘balance.’
It has been done before. I wonder if we will see such a thing happen in _this_ country…
The first thing he did was to prohibit regular uniformed police from interfering with Nazi Brownshirts out in the streets. This meant that innocent German citizens had no one to turn to as they were being beaten up by rowdy young storm troopers drunk with their newfound power and quite often drunk on beer. These young Nazi toughs took full advantage of police leniency to loot shops at will and terrorize Jews or anyone else unfortunate enough to be caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Next, Göring purged the Berlin police department of politically unreliable cops and had 50,000 storm troopers sworn in as special police auxiliaries (Hilfspolizei). Now the storm troopers had actual power of arrest and they relished its use. Jails were soon overflowing with people taken into protective custody resulting in the need for large outside prison camps, the birth of the concentration camp system.
