How did Hitler consolidate his power in 1933?

A series of important event allowed Hitler to establish totalitarian control within Germany in 1933-34. Firstly the Reichstag fire allowed the Nazi party to gain popularity as this was cleverly blamed on the Communists, reducing political opposition to Hitler. Second, Hitler's use of the SA to intimidate political opponents worked to reinforce his own position. The use of the Enabling Act was a KEY step, essentially allowing Hitler to make his own laws. Further control over Germany was attained through the banning of opposing political parties and trade unions. Finally, Hitler's purge of SA leaders and other political opponents in the 1934 'Night of Long Knives' gains the Nazis the support of the army, which in combination with president Hindenburg's death allowed Hitler to become Fuhrer.
