Which was the more important in allowing Hitler
to strengthen his power in 1933-34, the Enabling
Act or the Night of the Long Knives? Explain your
answer. I believe the Night of the Long Knives
was more important than the Enabling Act in
allowing Hitler to strengthen his power in
1933-34, because the Night of the Long Knives
warned any rivals of the consequences of
challenging Hitlers leadership, and got key
groups such as the army on his side. The Night
of the Long Knives took place on the 30th June
1934. SA leaders were rounded up by the SS, and
many were executed, including the leader of the
SA, Ernst Röhm. Hitler did this because he needed
to please the Army generals, who were worried
about the SA becoming the future German Army. The
SA were also proving to be embarrassing at times,
as their violent conduct, which had been so
useful in getting Hitler into power, was now seen
as unnecessary. Hitler believe that Röhm wanted
to claim power for himself, and with the power of
the SA, and if united, the army behind him, Röhm
would pose a genuine threat to Hitler. All these
reasons led to Hitler ordering the Night of the
Long Knives. By doing so, the SA were removed as
a threat, as their soldiers either joined the SS,
led by the loyal Heinrich Himmler, or the German
army. The army were so grateful to Hitler, that
following President Hindenburgs death, they
swore an oath of personal loyalty to Hitler. It
also showed any rivals that Hitler would deal
with opposition ruthlessly, even within his own
party. The Enabling Act was crucial in
strengthening Hitlers position as Chancellor.
Following the Reichstag Fire in February and the
new elections that followed, the Reichstag passed
the Enabling Act in March 1933, whereby Hitler
could now pass any law without going through the
German parliament. Hitler now had dictatorial
powers, and the Reichstag had virtually voted
itself out of existence. This meant that Hitler
alone would decide on matters, and his decisions
were final. This went a long way in removing
opposition, and strengthening his
position. Overall however, the Night of the Long
Knives was more important. Despite his position
as dictator following the Enabling Act, groups
such as the SA and army still posed a threat to
Hitler, and a coup could have taken place. By
removing both these obstacles, Hitler not only
strengthened his position, but sent a clear
message to any other potential rivals.

Specific details of the Enabling Act
Clear point with key words repeated
The Enabling Act was crucial in strengthening
Hitlers position as Chancellor. Following the
Reichstag Fire in February and the new elections
that followed, the Reichstag passed the Enabling
Act in March 1933, whereby Hitler could now pass
any law without going through the German
parliament. Hitler now had dictatorial powers,
and the Reichstag had virtually voted itself out
of existence. This meant that Hitler alone would
decide on matters, and his decisions were final.
This went a long way in removing opposition, and
strengthening his position. Overall however, the
Night of the Long Knives was more important.
Despite his position as dictator following the
Enabling Act, groups such as the SA and army
still posed a threat to Hitler, and a coup could
have taken place. By removing both these
obstacles, Hitler not only strengthened his
position, but sent a clear message to any other
potential rivals.
