The first method of keeping complete control was through the use of TERROR he gave the Gestapo (German police) complete control so they could just arrest someone and throw them in jail for no reason at all!! He also used the S.S. (shooting squad) these were Hitler’s personal army they stared of as Hitler’s bodyguards but he expanded them so that they could wipe out the brown shirts they wiped them out in just one night this night was called “night of the long knives,” people knew that if they foul-mouthed Hitler they would either end up dead or in a concentration camps (which was meant you were as good as dead) the first concentration camp that was first set up was called Dachaw is was set up in 19 34 Hitler sent all trade unionists , other party leaders and anyone who he didn’t like. All court judges were Nazis so they voted in favour of Hitler so if you were a Jew in court you had no chance of getting a fair trail because the Nazis hate all Jews. The Nazis also made extermination camps, Auschwitz was the largest extermination camp these camps were made to exterminate groups of people on a super large scale Auschwitz was the largest extermination camp ever made it was called “the final solution,” this was because this camp was the one that would end the Jewish race. Auschwitz alone killed well over 2 million Jews. 6 million Jews were killed altogether in ww2. in colclution i think think that terror took a big part in Hitler keeping complete control of Nazi Germany but propaganda also so took a big part of keeping control of Germany because if he didnt use propaganda the german people wouldnt of voted for him to become the chancellor in the first place.
