John C. Crews-WWII Veteran-THE ENEMY-5

On March 23, the new Nazi controlled Reichstag passed the "Enabling Act."

This act finally established Adolph Hitler as the total Dictator of Germany.

After this, the "Gleichschaltung" (Synchronizing) began – the total coordination and absorption of the entire nation under the Nazi boot.

Shortly after the "Enabling Act" came into effect, the concentration camps for Jews were established.

In a few years, the military adventures of Hitler would lead the world into the largest war in history.

The events of that war are remembered by most, but it is important to also remember how and why it began – how the Nazis came to be the powerful and ruthless rulers they were.
