Goals {in terms of work}
Goring wanted to stultify the democratic system, which the Reichstag outwardly represented till 1933. Goring had the ear and trust of the Weimar president, Paul Von Hindenburg and used his position to outwit the successive chancellors until Hindeburg was persuaded into giving Hitler the position on 30th January, 1933
The battle for dictatorial power was unfinished, because during the passing of Hitler's dictatorial bill, Goring was still tirelessly active
Goring used his position as interior minister of Prussia to Nazify the prussian police system and establish the gestapo {secret political police}. Goring also established many concentration camps for 'corrective treatment' of difficult opponents.
The Reichstag Fire gave Goring an opening to blame the communists for staging a coup even though it may have been instigated by the Nazi's
The arrest of the communists and social democrats succeded in removing any effective opposition to the passage the following month of the Enabling
After the crisis's with the Luftwaffe's losses, Goring got addicted and resorted to paracodeine tablets {a mild derivative from morphine} these drugs poisoned his system and made recurrent treatment for drug addiction necessary.
