Gleichschaltung

1938 Nuremberg Congress postcard, from the NSDAP Central Publishing House. A Nazi Reichsadler towers over Germany and Austria.

The Nazi term Gleichschaltung (German pronunciation: [ˈɡlaɪçʃaltʊŋ] ), roughly "coordination", was the process of Nazification by which Adolf Hitler—leader of the Nazi Party in Germany—established a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society "from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education".[1]

Although the Weimar Constitution remained nominally in effect throughout Hitler's dictatorship, near total Nazification was achieved by 1935 with the resolutions approved during that year's Nuremberg Rally, fusing the symbols of the party and the state (see Flag of Nazi Germany)[2] and depriving German Jews of their citizenship (see Nuremberg Laws). The tenets of Gleichschaltung also applied to territories occupied by the German Reich.
