    Hitler became Chancellor in 1933 with support from Hindenburg and others who thought he could be controlled. After the Reichstag fire, which Hitler used to ban the Communist party, he passed the Enabling Act in 1933 allowing him to rule by decree. With no opposition parties, Hitler consolidated power. The Night of the Long Knives in 1934 eliminated opposition within his own party, and when Hindenburg died Hitler became both Chancellor and President, establishing himself as dictator of Germany.

    OATH OF LOYALTY TO HITLER

    DEATH OF PRESIDENT HINDENBURG

    THE NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES

    The depression after the Wall Street Crash made many more people vote for the Nazis. In 1933 Von Papen convinced Hindenburg that Hitler should become Chancellor.

    January 1933

    February 1933

    The Reichstag building burnt down. A communist was found inside the building. He admitted responsibility.

    June 1934

    Now I have got rid of opposition political groups, I can now deal with opposition in my party. Ernst Rohm (an old friend), head of the S.A. is very unpopular with the German army leaders. They have the power to overthrow me.Ive been worried about Rohm for a while, so this is a good excuse.

    The Night of the Long Knives


    Hitler had to get rid of Rohm. He was too

    much of a threat. On the night of 30th June 1934 Hitlers S.S. killed over 1000 SA members including Rohm. The army were pleased. Hitler had gained the support of the army.

    A final note

    August 1934

    PRESIDENT HINDENBURGS DEATH GAVE HITLER THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMBINE THE ROLE OF CHANCELLOR AND PRESIDENT. HE CALLED HIMSELF DER FUHRER.

    Every soldier swore a personal oath of loyalty to ADOLF HITLER.
