1934 Parade for Nazi May Day |
Within six months of appointing Hitler chancellor, Von Hindenburg died. Hitler, who had positioned himself shrewdly, also became president.
The Nazi party became the only legal party, and Hitler was Germany. And it all happened completely legallythrough the system.
With Von Hindenburg's death in 1934, Hitler not only got the presidency, but control of the army as well. He immediately set out to do as he had promised and, in the beginning, really had tremendous successes in delivering his promises. First of all, he got Germany back on its feet economically. In reality, the nations of the world absolved all the debt of World War I, but Hitler claimed that for his own credit. He threw the country into making arms. War is good for business. Now, the military was behind him, and industry was behind him.He eliminated mass unemployment and the masses now identified with him, too.

Mass Meeting for Hitler |
In huge rallies, he captured the minds and imaginations of everyone. All of Germany was behind him now. He became the "Fuhrer," the unquestioned supreme authority in Germany.
The Supreme Court declared allegiance to Hitler, not Germany. Whoever opposed this policy was an immediate candidate for the first concentration camp, Dachau, just outside Munich, where they went in for a little bit of re-education.
