Lest you history hounds forget, Karl Ernst was a victim of the Night of the Long Knives.

Arrested by the SS as he was about to leave by ship on his honeymoon.

Yes..he even allowed the SS to cuff him without struggle thinking it was a prank..Goring attended his wedding even though he knew Ernst was to be arrested days later, what a charmer!
