You’re off by an order of magnitude. SA in 1932 started at about 400,000. It peaked at about 3 million once they were in power and able to recruit openly.
The US Army is in the ballpark of 450,000 active soldiers.
Sorry, was operating off of what I could find on Wikipedia. The numbers I pulled were for all US armed forces across all branches, not just the army
