Answer

Strasser's involvement in the Night of the Long Knives purge, a political cleansing operation ordered by Adolf Hitler in which many Nazi rivals and dissidents were executed in 1934, led to his downfall. Hitler saw Strasser as a potential threat due to his popularity and independent thinking, which clashed with Hitler's increasing consolidation of power.
