These newly re-released images show the moment Adolf Hitler rose to power - exactly 80 years ago today.

On January 30th 1933 the man who would become one of the worst tyrants in history was appointed Chancellor of Germany, the first step towards his creation of a totalitarian regime.
 

The photos are part of an online gallery published by newsreel company British Pathe in order to record the pivotal moment in history.
 

Hitler was appointed chancellor by German statesman Paul von Hindenburg after three elections had not resulted in the formation of a majority government.
 

Von Hindenburg had reluctantly agreed to appoint Hitler as leader after influential politicians, industrialists and businessmen urged him to do so.
 

Hitler was to head a short-lived coalition government formed by his own National Socialist German Workers Party and another party, the German National People's Party.
 

On 30 January 1933, the new cabinet was sworn in during a brief ceremony in Hindenburg's office.
 

Hitler had initially tried to seize power in 1923 in an event known as the Beer Hall Putsch. The NSDAP stormed a public meeting at the Bürgerbräukeller, a large beer hall in Munich, and declared the formation of a new government.
 

However, the coup failed and Hitler was arrested and spent a year in prison. While serving his sentence he wrote Mein Kampf (My Struggle), an autobiography and ideological text that laid out Hitler's plans for transforming German society into one based on race.
 

After his release he set about rebuilding the NSDAP and concentrated on achieving power through a more legitimate political path.
 

He exploited the discontent a number of Germans, particularly farmers, war veterans, and the middle class, felt after the trials of the Great Depression, and steadily rose to power.
 

After his appointment as chancellor in 1933, he transformed the Weimar Republic into the Third Reich, a single-party dictatorship based on the totalitarian and autocratic ideology of Nazism.
 

He launched a campaign of hatred and genocide against Jews and his action soon plunged Europe - and eventually the whole world - into a war that claimed an estimated 50million lives.
