Question

Explain the efforts made by hitler to dismantle democracy

Answer 1

The following steps were taken by Hitler to destroy the democratic structure of Germany:

January 30, 1933: President Hindenburg offered the Chancellorship, the highest position in the cabinet of ministers, to Hitler.

The ‘Fire Decree’ of 28th February 1933 suspended civic rights like freedom of speech, press and assembly that had been granted by the Weimer Constitution.

The communists were sent to the concentration camps.

3rd March, 1933: The Enabling Act was passed.

This Act gave Hitler all powers to rule by decree. All political parties and trade unions were banned except for the Nazi Party and its affiliates.

The State established complete control over the economy, media, army and judiciary.

Special surveillance and security forces were created for controlling society in the Nazi ways.
