Germany became a totalitarian state with the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, particularly after the Reichstag Fire in February 1933. The subsequent passage of the Reichstag Fire Decree and the Enabling Act allowed Hitler to consolidate power, effectively dismantling democratic institutions and establishing a regime characterized by oppressive control over all aspects of life. By the summer of 1933, political opposition was largely eliminated, solidifying Germany's status as a totalitarian state.
Totalitarian
A Monarch implies a Monarchy, and the Third Riech (Germany under Hitler) aka Nazi Germany was not a Monarchy. Therefore no. Germany at that time was a totalitarian state and most (but not all) political scientists would agree that it was a dictatorship. It is therefore generally acceptable to call hitler a dictator.
He turned Germany into a totalitarian state, caused WW II, and murdered millions of people, among other accomplishments. He is generally regarded as having been the most evil person in all of history.

Totalitarianism is used to describe a political philosophy that is collectivist in the extreme. Totalitarianism isn't a political philosophy in and of itself, it's more an attribute of political philosophies such as Marxism and Fascism. In a totalitarian state, individuals, families and civil society (unions, religious groups, educational institutions, hospitals etc) only have value in service and in relation to the state. In many cases the totalitarian state that will create and maintain the institutions of civil society and it will not permit any outside its control. These institutions are controlled usually through membership in the ruling party whose totalitarian philosophy directs the state. Individuals in such a state are taught to understand their lives in terms of their belonging and contributing to the state which demands their complete and ultimate loyalty. North Korea is a good example of a totalitarian state, as are most Marxist countries. Nazi Germany was also a totalitarian state. Totalitarian states are typically violent and brutal, with little in the way of freedom and human rights. A dictatorship on the other hand is rule by one person. In effect, the will of one person becomes law in a state. A state can be both totalitarian and a dictatorship and often is. North Korea is perhaps an example of this. But dictators aren't always totalitarians. They may not have any particular political philosophy. They just don't want anyone contesting their power.
At the time of the third reich, Adolf Hitler was the totalitarian dictator, or "the fuehrer" (german for leader).
