Use of fear

Based on the research that I have made , there are many ways Hitler uses to control people. One of it was the use of fear. As the use of propaganda failed, the Nazis uses fear to control the people. 

  

Hitler’s private army 

SS and SA are Hitler's private army . SS , Schutzstaffel , role is to protect at Hitler's mass meetings that were conducted in public . SA , Sturmabteilung , are from the nationalist Freikorps of the post . The SS is also loyal towards Hitler only and were seen as an elite force  by Heinrich Himmler .

How does the use of fear helped Nazi became more powerful in Germany ?

Night of the Long Knives

On 30 June 1934 , Hitler was convinced by Goring and Himmler that Rohm was planning a coup d'etat which was quite untrue . The SS arrest the victims , which Hitler had ticked off their names , and take them to backyards and stairwells to be shot . Theodore Eicke shot Rohm after he refuse to commit suicide . Most of the SA leaders and many of Himmler's and Goring's enemies had been done away with by 1 July 1934 .   The Night of the Long Knives assured the rise of SS . 

The Concentration Camps

Between 1933 and 1945 , there were concentration camps in  Nazi Germany . This concentration camps is to imprison political opponents of Nazi Policy . This camps were organized by the SA , SS , police and local civilian authorities .
