Reich stag Election 2 days after chancellor won 288 seats 43.9% a political blow since needing 2/3 majority
Reichstag Fire Young Dutch communist arrested for burning down the Reichstag believed to be a Nazi move to justify Nazi repression which the Nazis took to their advantage
Enabling Law - do away with parliamentary procedure and legislation transfer full power to chancellor and government for 4 years, dictatorship would be in legality but needed 2/3 majority but lower ranks were building momentum giving impression of revolution from below would destroy image of legality.
