- Violence
- Hitler threatened people using the SA. The police supported him as Goerring- Hitler's second in command was minister of Police in west Prussia. The Night Of Long Knives was in essence a technique to intimidate The SA and prevent them from starting rebellions- he also killed Rohm the leader of the SA.
- Weak opposition- The communists were not strategic enough or tactical enough to attack - but after the Reichstag Hitler ordered the death of all communist officers.
