He used it as an excuse to pass laws that took power away from his opponents.
After the Reichstag fire (27 Feb 1933) Hitler persuaded President Hindenburg to issue the Reichstag Fire Decree, which suspended civil liberties, allowed detention without trial and censorship. That repression smashed Communist and other opposition activity and set the stage for the Enabling Act (23 Mar 1933), which gave Hitler’s cabinet the power to make laws without parliamentary consent and effectively made him a dictator.
