Hitler's popular triumphs, beginning with the remilitarisation of the Rhineland in 1936 and embracing Anschluss with Austria and entry into Czechoslovakia in 1938, made him virtually unassailable and the new generation of commanders such as Heinz Guderain and Erwin Rommel became his faithful followers.

Hitler assumed power of the whole army (even though he had no experience) by removing any officer and generals (such as commander in chief von Fritsch) who didn't do what he wanted.

In the Hossbach Conference of 5 November 1937, Hitler laid down aggressive plans for rapid expansion in the east . Only Goering spoke in Hitler's favour, von Fritsch and Hitler's war minister, General Werner von Blomberg, opposed the plans.

Most officers shared Hitler's nationalist aspirations.

The army favored:
- the Nazi's enforcement of law and order,
- the repudiation of Hitler about the disarmament of the army.
- The restoration of conscription and the promise to expand the peace time army to more than 500'000 men.

-Hindenburg's Death: Once Hitler had become chancellor, he was eventually granted the Enabling Act, which essentially provided him with complete power. However, he never had the top position in the country until Hindenburg, the president, unexpectedly died. This was the perfect chance for Hitler to take advantage and become the president of Germany. He was now the führer, which was the

Propaganda/Opposition
In theory: the more popular you are the less opposition you encounter. Propaganda becomes less indoctrinating and more fun.
In reality: Hitler made sure to get rid of opposition. So the lack of it was not necessarily due to his popularity but to the efficient suffocation of it.
Between 1933-1938, the opposition groups in Nazi Germany were:

Rote Kapelle

Edelweiss Pirates

Random socialists and brave SPD members who spread anti-Nazi propaganda

While this is the only outright opposition faced it is worth mentioning a lot of people grumbled in the house privately. It is important to note not all the opposition is directly political per say. The Rote Kapelle did it for the USSR and the Edelweiss Pirates were protesting because they disliked the Hitler Youth and it's restrictions. So you can't really tell if they like Hitler but despise the government policies. After all the Edelweiss Pirates did not exist before Hitler Youth attendance was made compulsory.
For opposition we can conclude that opposition was not severe before 1938 and private grumbling is always present regardless of which political party is in power so the Nazis were popular enough to ensure most people behaved peacefully.
Goebbels was minister of propaganda from 1933 onward. He used various means to spread propaganda. (e.g  Volksempfänger, cinema and press were some of the most popular). Propaganda was always nationalist with the intend to indoctrinate yet that did not mean Hitler would gain popularity. Historians agree that propaganda was most effective on those that already believed or complied with the government. On the other hand Hitler once said that clever and careful propaganda could make people see heaven in hell or vice-versa.
For propaganda we can conclude that it did not make Hitler more popular because it was always needed and as time went on opposition increased so his view

Night of the long knives- 30 June 1934, the SS by the orders of Hitler, killed 400 members of the SA (including its leader Röhm) and other opponents that Hitler had. This factor helped Hitler be in the good side of the army, and later on he was able to make them do an oath to Hitler. Also it created terror amongst the people, because if Hitler got rid of his own people, then basically no one was safe.

The Gestapo (The secret police), it's leader; Rudolf Diels, helped create paranoia in the German people, because at all times they would arrest, beat up and kill people without any proof of their crimes.

In the Hossbach conference of 5 November, 1937, Hitler laid down plans of expanding in the East. Von Fritsch and Hitler's war minister; General Werner Von Bombard, opposed his plans. So in 1938, he dismissed General Von Blomberg, by accusing him of being married to a prostitute, and he also dismissed Commander in Chief Von Fritsch, due to being allegedly gay. 16 generals left the army and 44 were transferred. Hitler was able to become his own war minister.

Examples:
1. Propaganda: Propaganda helped Hitler and the Nazis intimidate the people with anti Semitic propaganda to intimidate jews.
2. Gestapo: The gestapo was Germany's secret police force and their job was to ensure that the Nazis ruled without opposition. To accomplish this, the Gestapo used intimidation techniques to keep the population in control. Such techniques included arresting people for no reason and the "Labour camps"(later known as "concentration camps").

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Essential to the intimidating effects of the terror was the willingness of many German citizens (whether out of conviction, greed, envy, or vengeance) to denounce their fellow citizens, Jewish and non-Jewish, to the police. The Gestapo could not have exercised such control over German society without the benefit of this steady stream of denunciations, many of which were entirely unfounded.

In June 1932 Hitlers popularity was not high and this can be seen thanks to the lack of support in this years elections where he only got 37%

The elections continued to decrease until November 1933 when Hitler got 95% of the votes. However how popular was Hitler really if he had banned the rest of the parties and the people han no one else to vote for.

Again after 1933 no new parties could be established and no other party could possibly be voted for so it makes sense that the party got 90% of votes and more from 1933 onwards.

Also a lot of Hitlers popularity was only valid in peoples minds thanks to the extremist situations of the country, thanks to the horrible economic conditions.

Hitlers popularity and increase in votes also was influenced by the fact that he did the "Hitler over Germany" campaign where he were he travelled to 20 different cities all over Germany in 7 days and managed to get people to meet him for the first time and gain support.

Although there was opposition there was not an organized front. For instance, The KPD formed underground cells where the issued leaflets attacking their regime. Simultaneously the SPD organized underground groups such as the berlin red patrol which planted bombs in places where Hitler was supposed to speak. Even though both groups fought the same cause they never joined forces, that would have caused a greater impact.

The Enabling act allowed the passing of laws without the consent of the Reichstag. Examples of some laws:
- Law Against Establishment of Parties of 14 July 1933
- Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service of April 1933
- Law to Ensure the Unity of Party and State December 1933

With the help of the enabling act, Hitler was able to pass on as many laws as he wanted, which he did. He made illegal things legal, and had no need to justify his actions, since no one could prevent him from passing these laws. Hitler was able to consolidate power without the need of illegal moves since he could get rid of opposition with the law,  and thus he was capable of passing on new amendments that were used to his favor, and essentially managing to become the Furher.
