August 07, 1934
TAUNTON DAILY GAZETTE, England, August 7, 1934
* Adolph Hitler becomes Fuhrer
* Absolute power
* Paul Von Hindenburg death
This 12 page newspaper has a banner headline on the front page above the masthead: "Hitler Is Silent in Regard to His Intended Policies, in address Given Today at Von Hindenburg's Funeral" with subheads. (see)
Other news of the day. Light browning with little margin wear and chipping, otherwise good.
wikipedia notes: With this combination of legislative and executive power, Hitler's government further suppressed the remaining political opposition. The KPD and the SPD were banned, while all other political parties dissolved themselves. Labour unions were merged with employers' federations into an organisation under Nazi control, and the autonomy of German state governments was abolished.
Hitler also used the SA paramilitary to push Hugenberg into resigning and proceeded to politically isolate Vice Chancellor Papen. Because the SA's demands for political and military power caused much anxiety among military leaders, Hitler used allegations of a plot by the SA leader Ernst Rhm to purge the SA's leadership during the Night of the Long Knives. Opponents unconnected with the SA were also murdered, notably Gregor Strasser and former Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher.[30]
President Paul von Hindenburg died on 2 August1934. Rather than holding new presidential elections, Hitler's cabinet passed a law proclaiming the presidency dormant and transferred the role and powers of the head of state to Hitler as Fhrer und Reichskanzler (leader and chancellor).[31] Thereby Hitler also became supreme commander of the military, whose officers then swore an oath not to the state or the constitution but to Hitler personally.[31] In a mid-August plebiscite, these acts found the approval of 84.6%[32] of the electorate. Combining the highest offices in state, military and party in his hand, Hitler had attained supreme rule that could no longer be legally challenged.
