Hitler took complete control of the Nazi Party in January 1922. During a conference, Hitler persuaded members that election of the leader was a mistake and that the Nazis did not need this. He also banned debate on the party policy.

This crushed any democracy that existed within the party and ensured that he had total control over the entire party.
