Devotion to this "Volk" is common in Nazi propaganda. An account, for instance, of a SA brawl depicted its leader as uncouth and therefore a simple, strong, and honest man of the people. "Sturmabteilung" speakers were used, in part, for the appeal of their folksy manner. One element of Horst Wessel's life that was fictionalized out of the movie "Hans Westmar" was the willfully provoking of violent conflicts with Communists; Westmar preaches class reconciliation, and his death unifies students and workers. This changes was also propagandized to the "Sturmabteilung", whose violent, rebellious and confrontational past had to be transformed to community organization to be useful in a Germany where Nazis held official power.
