Wurst from Brownshirts convention? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sausage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wurst' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'brownshirts convention?' is the wordplay.
'brownshirts' becomes 'sa' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'convention?' becomes 'usage' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sa'+'usage'='SAUSAGE'

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sausage that I've seen before include "Eg, chipolata" , "Eg, salami or cervelat" , "Minced meat and fat in cylindrical skin" , "Tube-shaped food item" , "that should be edible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
