Ans. After becoming Chancellor, Hitler swiftly consolidated his power and established a totalitarian regime in Germany. He used the Enabling Act to pass laws without the involvement of the Reichstag, thus diminishing the democratic institutions. Hitler also purged political opponents and dissenters through the Night of the Long Knives, eliminating threats to his authority. The Nazi regime controlled the media, education system, and cultural institutions, ensuring that propaganda and indoctrination were pervasive. Hitler's secret police, the Gestapo, maintained a climate of fear and suppressed any opposition. Through these means, Hitler was able to establish complete control over Germany and transform it into a dictatorial state.
