Why did Hitler kill his best friend?

that was not his best friend, August Kubizek was

personally I find their story to be beautiful

He wanted the loyalty of the Reichswehr on his side

Not his friend, his gay lover

ERNST RÖHM WAS PLANNING TO MOVE AGAINST ADOLF HITLER; THEY WERE NOT FRIENDS; A FRIEND DOES NOT BETRAY A FRIEND.

NO.

Power at the top is a zero sum game. The SA were growing to powerful. Hitler did not want to kill off Röhm, everyone else did. He was persuaded by Göering.

When asked why Göering did so by the psychiatrist Douglas E. Kelley (prior to the Nuremberg trials), Göering supposedly stared coldly into Kelley's eyes and replied "He was in my way".

So there's your answer.

He was in Goering's way.

Rohm called him "Adi"

You do the math
