Now there's one historical event that I've always felt contradicted this and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm that my understanding is correct:
June 30, 1934 - "The Night of the Long Knives"
This night saw the purge of the Sturmabeitlung (SA) from the Nazi regime. From my understanding the reason for this was a perception that the SA's leader, Ernest Roehm, posed a threat to Hitler's power. It is also to my understanding that Roehm took the "Socialism" in "National Socialism" a bit too seriously for the Nazis' liking, hence one of the reasons he was seen as a possible threat.

With knowledge of history on my side and a healthy intuitive sense of others' feelings, I still have never been able to successfully argue the fallacy of that with anyone.
