He sure did - along with labelling people to make it easy to imprison without trial, create an aura of hatred on races or on sexual inclination, spied on Germany's citizens, promoted the concept that the nation is under threat as justification for limiting freedoms.
History repeats itself - the "enemy" are now called "insurgents", "enemy combatents" or whatever. The "management" can't ever admit they are engaged in torture or can say "waterboarding is torture" - despite this is clearly defined within the Geneva Convention and also prohibited under domestic laws.
Wait for it - they'll be recreating the burning of the Reichstag next
