Answer 1

Introduction
When Hitler became Chancellor in January 1933 it was easy to forget that he was in a very precarious position.  Few people thought he would hold on to power for long.  Even fewer thought that by the summer of 1934 he would be the supreme dictator of Germany.  He achieved this through a clever combination of methods - some legal, others dubious.  He also managed to defeat or reach agreements with those who could have stopped him.  
His first actions
Adolf Hitler, the new Chancellor of Germany, had no intention of abiding by the rules of democracy.  He intended only to use those rules to legally establish himself as dictator as quickly as possible then begin the Nazi revolution.  Hitler moved quickly to establish a dictatorship.  He used terror to gain power while maintaining an air of legality throughout.

The Reichstag Fire
Hitler called for new elections to Parliament and then on the night of February 27, 1933 the Parliament building burned to the ground and is now known as the Reichstag Fire.  Hitler blamed the Communists for this act thus helping to get them out of the way and out of any possible public following.  

By
Emergency Act and Hitler’s newspaper

Hitler left the Reichstag fire scene and went straight to the offices of his newspaper, the Völkischer Beobachter,to oversee its coverage of the fire.  He stayed up all night with Goebbels putting together a paper full of tales of a Communist plot to violently seize power in Berlin.  

At a cabinet meeting held later in the morning, February 28, Chancellor Hitler demanded an emergency act to overcome the crisis.  He met little resistance from his largely non-Nazi cabinet.  That evening, Hitler and Papen went to Hindenburg and the puzzled old man signed the act "for the Protection of the people and the State."  It was an emergency act that:  

abolished the freedom of speech andabolished the freedom of assembly.  

The emergency act signed by Hindenburg on February 28, after the Reichstag fire, made it easy for them to interfere with non-Nazi elected representatives of the people by simply arresting them.  

The Nazis now turned their attention to Election Day, March 5.  
All of the resources of the government necessary for a big win were placed at the disposal of Joseph Goebbels.  The big industrialists who had helped Hitler into power gladly coughed up three million marks.  Representatives from Krupp munitions and I.G.Farben were among those reaching into their pockets at Göring's insistence.  

Enabling Act
For Adolf Hitler, the goal of a legally established dictatorship was now within reach.  On March 15, 1933, another cabinet meeting was held during which Hitler and Göring discussed how to obstruct what was left of the democratic process to get an Enabling Act passed by the Reichstag.  This law would hand over the constitutional functions of the Reichstag to Hitler, including the power to make laws, control the budget and approve treaties with foreign governments.  

"The government will make use of these powers only in so far as they are essential for carrying out vitally necessary measures.  The number of cases in which an internal necessity exists for having recourse to such a law is in itself a limited one,"Hitler told the Reichstag.  

"
The Night of the Long Knives
Germany a great military power again.  
Conclusion
It was due to many facts all mentioned above that Hitler established a Dictatorship.  But I think the main reason is that Hitler had in a way power over Hindenburg as Hindenburg being an old and befuddled man signed anything put infront of him by Hitler.  He trusted and believed in Hitler so if Hitler gave him something to sign he thought it was for the good of the public and the country.  For example Hindenburg thought that signing the Emergency act was “for the Protection of the people and the State.”  Really this was another step, which helped Hitler to establish a Dictatorship.  But if you took any one of the points above than I don’t think that Hitler would have established a Dictatorship as each point helped a little bit and had some sort of input in helping Hitler establish a Dictatorship.
