In 1933 Hitler was elected as Reich's Chancellor because he promised that he would fight the Versailles Treaty which had crippled Germany economically and that he would prevent the communists from gaining a majority of seats in parliament.

Then, through careful maneuvering, promises, threats (some acted on by his brown-shirts) , Hitler was able to assume the title of Fuehrer, giving him supreme command of Germany's government.
