[edit] Plot to Eliminate entire Nazi Party?

I find this sentence slightly strange: " . . . von Kleist saw that Hitler would bring calamity to Germany and plotted to capture and eliminate him and the entire Nazi party ..." [emphasis mine Mnentro 00:44, 18 July 2007 (UTC)]. After all, the entire Nazi Party was a huge organization, more than a million people, right? The wiki page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Party_Badge shows that being counted in the first hundred thousand of the Party was a distinction. A plot to eliminate that many? Wouldn't it be better to say "eliminate Hitler and neutralize the entire Nazi Party," meaning to remove the party from power? Mnentro 00:44, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
