The enabling act

The Nazis won their largest ever share and with the help of the Nationalist Party Hitler had an overall majority. Using the SA and the SS, he intimidated the Reichstag into passing the enabling act, and only the SPD voted against him. after the election, the communists had been banned. This made Hitler a virtual dictator. For the next 4 years, if Hitler wanted a new law, he could just pass it. However, Hitler's power was not fully consolidated yet.
