Aims and results of policies: Hitler's domestic policies - political policies Notes
The Night of the Long Knives removed SA leaders and other rivals, securing the army’s loyalty and reinforcing Hitler’s absolute authority.
One-Party State and Gleichschaltung
The Enabling Act (March 1933) gave Hitler the legal authority to pass laws without Reichstag approval, dismantling parliamentary democracy.
By July 1933, the Nazi Party became the only legal political party; other parties dissolved voluntarily or under pressure.
Gleichschaltung (“coordination”) brought all institutions into line with Nazi ideology, from local councils to professional organisations.
The Law for the Re-establishment of the Civil Service (April 1933) purged Jews, political opponents, and unreliable officials from the bureaucracy.
The abolition of trade unions (May 1933) and replacement with the German Labour Front removed a major source of political opposition.
Civil society organisations, from sports clubs to cultural associations, were brought under Nazi control to promote Volksgemeinschaft values.
Centralisation of Power
Federalism was dismantled in 1934, replacing state governments with Reich governors loyal to Hitler.

Note
The Enabling Act of March 1933 was a pivotal moment in Hitler's rise to power. This law allowed Hitler to enact laws without the approval of the Reichstag, effectively giving him dictatorial powers. The act was passed under intense pressure and intimidation, with many opposition members absent or coerced into supporting it.
The act was supposed to be temporary, lasting for four years, but it was renewed twice, keeping Hitler in power until the end of World War II.
The passing of the Enabling Act marked the end of the Weimar Republic and the beginning of Nazi dictatorship.
AnalogyThink of the Enabling Act as giving someone a blank check to make any rules they want, without anyone being able to say no.
ExampleAfter the Enabling Act was passed, Hitler quickly banned all other political parties and dissolved trade unions, consolidating his power further.
