ABSTRACT
BY September 14, 1930, the Nazi Party had become a factor to be reckoned with. The problem was now one of using that factor to the greatest advantage.
Hitler continued in his course of opposition and agitation. He wished to grow stronger before taking over the government. He intended the Party to become far more than a factor to be reckoned with. It was to become the most potent part of the whole of German public life. By about 1934 or 1935, he reckoned, he would be in control of a majority in the Reichstag. He was prepared to wait until then, but no longer. He had quite renounced his old idea of taking the position by storm, now that he had a good prospect of starving the enemy out.
