What Happened on the Night of the Long Knives: Simple Facts for Kids

Other Factors in Hitler's Consolidation of Power
While the Night of the Long Knives was significant, other events also played crucial roles in Hitler's rise to power:
The Reichstag Fire (February 1933)
The Reichstag fire provided Hitler with a pretext to crack down on his political opponents, particularly the communists. Hitler used this event to convince President Hindenburg to invoke Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution, which allowed for the suspension of civil liberties.
Example: Following the fire, about 4,000 communists were imprisoned without trial, effectively crippling the Communist Party.
The Enabling Act (March 1933)
The Enabling Act granted Hitler's government the power to enact laws without the consent of the Reichstag for four years. This effectively made Hitler a dictator and allowed the Nazis to:
- Ban all other political parties
- Build concentration camps
- Control the legal system by replacing judges who opposed them
Definition: The Enabling Act was a constitutional amendment that gave Hitler's cabinet the authority to enact laws without parliamentary consent.
Death of President Hindenburg (August 1934)
The death of President Paul von Hindenburg marked the final step in Hitler's consolidation of power. Upon Hindenburg's death, Hitler:
- Combined the positions of President and Chancellor into the role of Führer
- Held a plebiscite to show public support for this constitutional change
Quote: "When president Hindenburg died, Hitler took the opportunity to combine the positions of President and Chancellor into the role of Fuhrer and appointed himself the role."
Highlight: The plebiscite resulted in 90% officially approving Hitler's actions, demonstrating the extent of his control over Germany by this point.
In conclusion, while the Night of the Long Knives was crucial in eliminating internal threats and securing army support, the death of President Hindenburg was arguably the most important factor in Hitler's consolidation of power. It allowed Hitler to assume the role of Führer, giving him complete control over Germany.
Hitler's Final Consolidation of Power
The third page describes Hitler's ultimate assumption of total power following President Hindenburg's death in August 1934. This event allowed Hitler to combine the positions of President and Chancellor into the role of Führer.
Highlight: Hitler's consolidation of power was legitimized through a plebiscite where 90% of voters approved the constitutional changes.
Definition: A plebiscite is a direct vote by all members of an electorate on an important public question.
Quote: "The death of President Hindenburg was the most important reason for Hitler's consolidation to power as it allowed him to create and appoint himself the role of Fuhrer."
The Night of the Long Knives and Hitler's Rise to Power
The Night of the Long Knives was a pivotal event in Hitler's consolidation of power during 1933 and 1934. This purge allowed Hitler to eliminate potential threats within his own party and gain crucial support from the army. Hitler used his SS to carry out the murders of up to 400 opponents, including Ernst Röhm, the leader of the SA .
Vocabulary: The SS was Hitler's elite guard, while the SA was the Nazi Party's original paramilitary wing.
The event served multiple purposes for Hitler:
- It eliminated the SA leadership, which the army saw as a threat.
- It removed potential rivals like Gregor Strasser.
- It allowed Hitler to take revenge on past opponents such as Von Kahr and Von Schleicher.
Highlight: The Night of the Long Knives demonstrated Hitler's willingness to use extreme violence to consolidate his power, even against his own supporters.
