Then he turned on his arch enemies, the communists most of whom were hurriedly packed off to the newly established concentration camps. The repression of communists was severe. On 3^rd March 1933, the famous Enabling Act was passed. This Act established dictatorship in Germany. It gave Hitler all the powers to sideline Parliament and rule by decree. All political parties and trade unions were banned except for the Nazi Party and its affiliates. Special surveillance and security forces were created to control and order society in the ways that the Nazis wanted.
