QUES :in what ways did the Nazi state seek to establish a total control over its people..?
Answers
On March 3, 1933, the famous Enabling Act was passed. It gave Hitler all the powers to sideline Parliament and rule by decree. All political parties and trade unions were banned except for the Nazi party and its affiliates.
● Super surveillance and security forces were created to control and order society in ways that the Nazis wanted.
● Apart from already existing regular police in green uniform and the SA or the Storm Troopers, some new forces were included: the Gestapo, the SS, criminal police and the Security Service. It was the extra-constitutional powers of these newly organized forces that gave the Nazi state its reputation as the most dreaded criminal state. The police forces acquired powers to rule with impunity.
