Keep in mind the reasons that Hitler did that in 1933. He also called for elections to bring in a newly elected reichstag.
The old ones were basically puppets of the French (who took full advantage of Germany after WW1)
That's what got Hitler to power to begin with...a desire of the German people to stop living under the boot of France and the other victors of WW1
It was totally a political move. A brilliant one at that.
But that isn't what the article was about at all anyway. You're kind of cherry picking the famous parts of Hitler's tyranny.
The article in question is a guy saying that the way the Nazi party targeted it's Jewish population and used the media to turn the masses against them in the early days (before the war and concentration camps, etc.) is somewhat similar to what the Obama administration and Democrat politicians are doing.
In both cases it's just a way for the party to get what it wants.
For the Nazi's it was to expand govt. takeover and nationalize most industries...oh wait a minute, that's sort of what the Democrat party is doing today! Maybe the guy has a point!
