After President Hindenburgs death in 1934, Hitler received also all presidential powers and was declared ''Führer und Reichskanzler'' (leader and chancellor). This was approved in August 1934 by 84% of the votes in a nationwide plebiscite.

== Influence of the Theory of Evolution on Hitler==
George Stein wrote in the journal [[American Scientist]] the following:
{{cquote|Hitler's views are rather straightforward German [[social Darwinism]] of a type widely known and accepted throughout [[Germany]] and which, more importantly, was considered by most Germans, scientists included, to be scientifically true. More recent scholarship on [[national socialism]] and Hitler has begun to realize that... [Darwin's theory] was the specific characteristic of [[Nazism]]. National socialist "biopolicy," [was] a policy based on a mystical-biological belief in radical inequality, a [[monistic]], antitranscendent moral [[nihilism]] based on the eternal struggle for existence and the survival of the fittest as the law of nature, and the consequent use of state power for a public policy of natural selection. - George Stein, "Biological Science and the Roots of Nazism." American Scientist, Vol. 76, No. 1, Jan-Feb., 1988, pp. 50-58. <ref>http://www.asa3.org/ASA/PSCF/1992/PSCF6-92Bergman.html</ref>}}
In regards to [[Adolph Hitler]] and the theory of evolution Richard Hickman wrote in his work ''Biocreation'' the following:
{{cquote|It is perhaps no coincidence that Adolf Hitler was a firm believer in and preacher of evolutionism. Whatever the deeper, profound, complexities of his [[psychosis]], it is certain that [the concept of struggle was important for]. . . his book, [[Mein Kampf]] clearly set forth a number of evolutionary ideas, particularly those emphasizing struggle, survival of the fittest and extermination of the weak to produce a better society. <ref>http://www.creationism.org/csshs/v08n3p24.htm</ref>}}

{{cquote|One of the central planks in Nazi theory and doctrine was …evolutionary theory [and] … that all biology had evolved … upward, and that … less evolved types … should be actively eradicated [and] … that natural selection could and should be actively aided, and therefore [the Nazis] instituted political measures to eradicate … [[Jew]]s, and … [[Black race|blacks]], whom they considered as “underdeveloped”.’ <ref>http://www.answersingenesis.org/tj/v13/i2/nazi.asp</ref>}}
