Thanks for the correction and clarification, it's appreciated. Can you tell it's been some years since I've read on that particular time?

Schleicher made it on the kill list of 1934 since there were accounts to be settled. He never was a friend.

Schleicher was gunned down along with his wife the very next year in the purge.

Oh, I know he fell to a Long Knife. But wasn't his intrigues in Dec of '32 that set up the whole mess?

No. His intrigues of that period were firstly to get Strasser and his group to break away from the Nazis and support him. When that failed he tried to convince Hindenburg to declare a state of emergency, dissolve the Reichstag and become dictator, which Hindenberg refused. At that he resigned.
