Chancellor Adolf Hitler stands with General Werner von Bromberg, the Minister of Defense, August 3, 1934. Only the day before, Germany's President, Paul von Hindenburg had died. On August 3, with the support of the army, Hitler became President. At this photographed ceremony, Gen. von Bromberg pledged the Army to Hitler, and von Bomberg [according to this photo's caption], "Ordered each soldier to pledge his loyalty and life to" Hitler.

Later that month, Hitler abolished the office of the Presidency and declared himself Führer of Germany. This effectively made him the dictator of Germany. This is a photo by "International News Photos, Inc." New York.
