Nazi Germany becomes one-party state...



Item # 554842

July 15, 1933

THE NEW YORK TIMES, July 15, 1933

* Nazi Germany formally becomes a one-party state

This 28 page newspaper has one column headlines on the front page: "HITLER WILL SEIZE PROPERTY OF FOES", "New Decrees Also Provide for Withdrawing Citizenship of Germans Abroad" and more. Other news of the day throughout. Light browning with little margin wear, otherwise in good condition.

wikipedia notes: The Enabling Act, termed for four years, gave the government the power to enact laws without parliamentary approval, to enact foreign treaties abroad and even to make changes to the Constitution. The Nazis did not keep their promises to their political allies, banning all other parties just as they had banned the communists and socialists. Following this, the Nazi government banned the formation of new parties on 14 July 1933, turning Germany into a one-party state. Hitler kept the Reichstag as a rubber stamp parliament, while the Reichsrat, though never abolished, was stripped of any effective power. The legislative bodies of the German states soon followed in the same manner, with the German federal government taking over most state and local legislative powers.
