∙ 10y agoHe was the highest ranking officer in the Schutzstaffel("protection staff"), or SS for short. As commander of the SS, Himmler was one of the most powerful men in Nazi Germany.
The SS was originally Hitler's personal bodyguard (hence the name), but after the Sturmabteilung ("assault section", basically the Nazi Party's own private army) was disbanded in 1934, the SS then served as the main paramilitary arm of the Nazi Party. The SS became one of the largest parts of the Nazi government- in addition to acting as Hitler's bodyguard, it also commanded most of Germany's police, ran the concentration camps and conducted the Holocaust, and even had special military units that fought in the war.

Why did the Nazi's agree with Hitler?
The Nazi party was dedicated entirely to the racial supremacy of the Aryan race, and the death or enslavement of all other, supposedly inferior races But this was well before The Nazi party came to power, the reason people so easily accepted the Nazi Party was because of the great depression their country was in ruins and they saw Hitler as like a beacon of hope a way to get their country up and running again but the real story behind it was Hitler didn't actually gain power the communist party actually got more votes but Hitler was Given power as he was given the title Chancellor from Hindenburg technically the people didn't accept the Nazi party, Hindenburg gave power to Hitler because he thought he could control him which in the end he couldn't, The people did no accept the Nazi party how could an entire race of people be so stupid to fool for his empty promises and false propaganda it's absurd. ------------------------------- Not true, i suspect that it was the edit. partically true,about the depresseion but Htiler did get more votes than the communist parties but he had his(sa) to impose fear on opponents such as the communist party ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Nazi party was not "dedicated entirely to the racial supremacy of the Aryan race", that was only one small part of their policies. Nor were they "the death or enslavement of all other, supposedly inferior races", if they wanted to kill all of the suposedly inferior races, then they would have had to kill most of their allies. In one of the early elections the Communist party did get close to the same number of votes, but this did not last through 1932 and 33. The people not only accepted the Nazi party, they voted favoured it over any other party and they formed a minority government. Hindenburg did not think that he could control Hitler, but he knew that if he did not make Hitler Chancellor, then they would have to hold fresh elections. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ People accepted the Nazis because they were the way forward, they showed a way out of the troubles ahead. The people could not predict what would happen later because not even the Nazi leaders could have predicted it.
When and how did the Nazi Party rise to power?
Throughout the 1920s, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party tried to take control of Germany. At first they tried to simply overthrow the government, but the so-called "Beer Hall Putsch" failed and some Nazis were imprisoned (including Hitler); then they tried to take control legally, through elections. But they could never quite gain any traction. Germany's political system works sort of similar to Britain's- the party (or group of allied parties) that holds the most seats in the Reichstag (parliament) normally chooses the Chancellor, who is the person who actually runs the government; if there is no majority, the President (who is a powerful but mostly symbolic leader, similar to the Queen of England) can just choose one.Between 1930 and 1933, the Nazis started making alliances with other right-wing parties, especially the Catholic Centre Party and the German National People's Party (Deutschnational Volkspartei in German, or DNVP for short). These other parties, mistakenly thinking they could control Hitler as a puppet, were able to convince the President, Paul von Hindenburg, to make Hitler the Chancellor since there was no majority party, and then hold elections. Hindenburg did so at the end of Jan 1933 (even though he personally disliked Hitler), and elections were scheduled for early March 1933.However, six days before the elections were to be held, the Reichstag building was set on fire; a Dutch man who was a communist was arrested at the scene, so he and the Communist Party were blamed for starting the fire. Hindenburg issued an executive order, the "Reichstag fire decree", to give Hitler the power to arrest communists. However, Hitler used this new power to arrest communists, socialists and other leftists, and harass voters in general to ensure that his coalition would win more votes.In the subsequent elections on March 5, 1933, the Nazi-DNVP coalition won a slim majority in the Reichstag. The Nazi party's 288 seats was not quite half of the 647 total seats- but add in the DNVP's 52 seats and they had the 50% needed to have a majority. The Catholic Centre Party was then brought in to ensure that the Nazis had a super-majority (66% of the total seats), so they could pass any bill they wanted, including constitutional amendments.This right-wing coalition passed the so-called "Enabling Act" on March 23. This single law ended democracy in Germany. It was a constitutional amendment that took all government power and gave it to Hitler himself- he could make and pass laws as he saw fit. At this point, Hitler and his Nazi Party were virtually the undisputed masters of Germany, and only President Hindenburg, a World War I general and hero, remained as a check against Hitler's power- but he was very old and generally unwilling to get involved by that point. The ruling Nazis then began a process called Gleichschaltung ("synchronization"), whereby Nazism was further integrated into German society. Hitler would eventually turn on his Centre and DNVP allies and ban them too- only the Nazi Party was allowed to survive.Nor was the Nazi Party itself immune to persecution. The Party had its own small army, the Sturmabteilung ("Assault Section", sometimes nicknamed "Brownshirts" due to their uniforms), or SA for short, whose leader, Ernst Röhm, had become powerful- which made Hitler worried about a possible coup d'etat. Additionally, there was a leftist faction within the party, led by brothers Otto and Gregor Strasser, which actually believed in socialism and hoped the party would adopt socialist policies. Hitler had both the SA and Strasserist faction of the Nazi Party wiped out in the "Night of the Long Knives" on June 30, 1934. Shortly thereafter, when Hindenburg died in August 1934, Hitler folded the Presidency and the Chancellorship together into the new position of "Führer" ("Leader"), which only he would hold.The Enabling Act was only supposed to last for four years, but with the Nazi Party eliminating all internal and external opposition, it was very easy for them to keep renewing the Act every four years until their reign finally ended when they lost World War II.
Why are there still Nazis out there?
Nazis today aren't really Nazis, they just hate Jews like the Nazis- Space99boyModern Nazis are called Neo-Nazis. They may hold one or more of these opinions:The Nazi Party's actions during the Second World War were acceptable / necessaryThe Holocaust is an invention and never really happenedThe Holocaust happened to a lesser extent than describedNational Socialism is a viable political systemSome people may be described as Neo-Nazis if they support the National Socialism system. This does not make them evil or in fact tie them to the Nazis in any way. However, many also show direct support for Hitler's actions and those of his Party.- Elite_X_HeRo

When did Hitler gain conterol of Germany?
Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. But he wasn't all-powerful yet- he still had to answer to the President and to the Reichstag (where the Nazi Party did not hold a majority).On March 23, 1933, Hitler was able to get the Reichstag to pass a constitutional amendment giving virtually all of the government's power to Hitler and his Cabinet. This could be considered the date that Hitler's dictatorship officially started. Over the next year, the Nazis changed the entire government of Germany to fit their beliefs, such as to strengthen propaganda and police, build up the military, and punish Jews and political opponents for existing. This process is known as Gleichschaltung("synchronization").On June 30, 1934, Hitler and his inner circle carried out the "Night of the Long Knives". The few remaining politicians who had opposed Hitler's rise to power were arrested, and generally executed or sent to concentration camps. He also murdered fellow Nazis who were considered a threat to his power, notably Ernst Röhm, the powerful leader of the Nazi Party's private army. Additionally, a small group of Nazis known as "Strasserites" (named after Gregor and Otto Strasser, their leaders) were murdered because they hoped to turn the Nazi Party into a socialist party.On August 2, 1934, President Paul von Hindenburg died of old age. He was the last obstacle to Hitler's total domination of Germany. With him out of the way, Hitler chose not to hold elections to replace Hindenburg; instead, he merged the office of Chancellor with the Presidency, and created the new office of Führer ("Leader"), which only he held.So pretty much any of those dates could be considered the date Hitler gained control of Germany.
What was Hitler's parliamentary majority?
Adolf Hitler did not have an outright parliamentary majority when he became Chancellor of Germany in 1933. However, his Nazi Party, along with other right-wing parties, formed a coalition government that eventually granted him significant power.
