The Nazi party managed to gain a plurality of seats in the Reichstag in 1933, although they were just short of a majority. Hitler became Chancellor, a position held by the leader of the strongest party in the Reichstag (a little bit like Speaker of the House), appointed by President von Hindenburg. When von Hindenburg died in 1934, and in the wake of the 1933 Enabling Act, Hitler assumed the presidency alongside being Chancellor, giving him dictatorial power.
