Opposition meetings were banned. They used the SA to terrorise opponents. A fire broke out in the Reichstag building, and Hitler whipped up opposition against the Communists, who said he started it. Hitler used emergency decrees to pass measures against terrorists - Communists were arrested so that people wouldn't vote for them. In March 1933, Hitler forces through his Enabling Act. On the 'Night of Long Knives', Hitler removes the opposition of Rohm. Hitler takes over from Hindenburg and is now called 'Der Fuhrer'. The Nazis won 288 seats but no majority - the Communists still won 81. Hitler declared the Communist party illegal. This gave him support in parliament to bring in an Enabling Act which was passed with threats and bargaining in March 1933. This Act let him govern for four years without parliament and made all other parties illegal. Hitler was almost in full control. 1 of 1
