Broadly correct, but with important context.
- Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany on 30 January 1933.
- The Reichstag’s Enabling Act (23 March 1933) gave his cabinet dictatorial legislative powers, eroding constitutional checks.
- After President Paul von Hindenburg’s death on 2 August 1934, Hitler moved to fuse the offices of President and Chancellor by law (backdated to 1 August) and took the combined title Führer und Reichskanzler.
- On 19 August 1934 a government plebiscite ratified this change (officially reported approval ~90%, in an atmosphere of intimidation and manipulation). The armed forces then swore a personal oath of loyalty to Hitler.
- The word Führer literally means “leader” or “guide,” but in the Nazi context it denoted a legally and practically absolute, charismatic ruler and was central to the regime’s cult of personality.
