Interestingly, after the Night of the Long Knives Hitler’s inner circle was surprisingly durable. They fought amongst themselves for his favor, which he encouraged, but he felt no farther need to enforce his authority by killing them.

This contrasts strongly with Stalin, who killed his acolytes with regularity right up to his demise.

Allegedly, Beria caught wind that he was about to be purged, and poisoned Stalin.
