Hitler was appointed Chancellor on January 30, 1933. He then quickly became the only leader in Germany. When President Paul von Hindenburg died on August 2, 1934, Hitler decided that no one would become president anymore.

He was "der Führer" (the Leader) and every one had to obey him.30 January 1933: Hitler became Chancellor of Germany.23 March 1933: Enabling Act passed, giving him wide-ranging, dictatorial powers.May 1933: All political parties apart from the NSDAP (Nazis) were banned.12 August 1934: Hitler proclaimed himself Führer (Leader).


Who was against Hitler?

His main political opponents were the Social Democrats. They convinced Hindenburg to run for re-election in 1932 as Germany's president. But eventually Hitler was named Chancellor in 1933, and the Nazis gained complete power beginning in 1934.
