  After Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor in 1933, he promptly packed the government full of loyalists and used Weimar Germany's constitution to turn himself into an absolute dictator.

The article from MSN discusses how historian Timothy W. Ryback, in his book "Takeover: Hitler's Final Rise to Power," details the rapid erosion of democracy in Germany by Adolf Hitler in early 1933. Ryback explains that Hitler, after being appointed Chancellor on January 30, 1933, used a combination of legal maneuvers, intimidation, and violence to dismantle democratic institutions within less than two months. Key events included the Reichstag Fire on February 27, which Hitler exploited to suspend civil liberties with the Reichstag Fire Decree, and the Enabling Act passed on March 23, which allowed him to enact laws without parliamentary consent. This period saw the suppression of opposition, the arrest of political adversaries, and the establishment of a totalitarian regime, showcasing how quickly democratic norms can be subverted when legal frameworks are manipulated by authoritarian figures.
