        Nah, secret police would fit better. The Sturmabteilung (SA) and the Schutzstaffel (SS) were more like the Proud Boys, doing marches and stuff.

        The secret state police, the Geheime Staatspolizei in German, is what resembles these guys. You might be more familiar with the abbreviation Gestapo.
