Answer 1

The five steps taken by Hitler to destroy democracy in Germany were:

• President Hindenburg gave the position of Chancellorship to the Hitler who was the highest position in the cabinet of ministers. When Hitler became powerful, he set out to deconstruct the structures which were the symbol of democratic rule. He was successful also when the mysterious fire broke out and demolished the German parliament building.

 

• On 3rd March 1933, the Enabling Act was passed which led to the establishment of the dictatorship in Germany. It gave him the power to sideline parliament and to rule the way he wanted.

 

• Except for the Nazi party, he banned all the political parties and trade unions. This way Hitler was able to completely establish dictatorship when he took complete control over the economy, media, army and judiciary.

 

• To run the society the way Nazis wanted Special surveillance and security forces were formed. These forces were given extra powers which made Nazi state most dreaded criminal state.

 

• With such powers, the state could detain people in Gestapo torture chambers, send to concentration camps, deported at will or arrested without any legal procedures.
