AI notes: Hermann Göring’s rise to power as Prussia’s leader in April 1933 allowed him to control the largest German state’s police and administration, enabling the Nazis to enforce early anti-Jewish laws and suppress dissent more effectively. This consolidation of authority helped establish the framework for the regime’s escalating persecution of Jews, which ultimately culminated in the Holocaust. Göring’s role expanded over time, and he later directly authorized and coordinated the implementation of the "Final Solution," making his 1933 leadership a key early step in the Nazis’ path to genocide.
