Many of Hitler politics as Chancellor involve German citizens, especially the work class( which compose the NSDAP)

This stage of Hitler and Nazi consolidation was very important because:

President Hindemburg gave him a lot of capacities and power. He strengthen the German State in terms of armamentisitc capacities and power, creating a special unit or block called "Gestapo", by expanding the state police by extending its members
