The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the burning of the Reichstag on February 27, 1933. Adolf Hitler took advantage of the situation to gain the political upper hand against his opponents. The incident helped him to do some certain things, including:

1. He dismissed the communists from Parliament and detained some other communist leaders

2. He used the incident as propaganda against the communist and declared that the country was under threat from the communists during the election campaign.
