Nazi methods of control
General methods of control
Since Hitler was the main power in Germany now, it meant he had the majority of the vote. But he had to deal with the ones that did not support him
Hitler declared Germany as a toalitarian state, meaning that there would be a single part in Germany- the Nazi party- which he would have full control over
This also meant that Hitler would have control over all German lives:

B. He controlled the supreme court
C. He controlled the radio and the newspapers
D. He controlled the education system
E. He controlled cinematography
F. He controlled the arts
G. He controlled the church
He also indoctrinated and brainwashed people through propaganda, and through a reward system if you followed Nazi rules
However, besides the general control and propaganda, Hitler also induced a policy of terror
Hitler made the SS, the Gestapo and concentration camps for this
