It's funny how often the accusations Hitler leveled at others ended up sticking to him instead. After he had Ernst Roehm and other brownshirts arrested and murdered in 1934, he gave a speech in which he claimed that Roehm had been planning a "Night of the Long Knives" (a phrase in use since the middle ages) attack on Hitler and the other nazi leaders. The phrase famously ended up being used to describe Hitler's actions.
It's all projection man.
