Elections

The 10 April 1938 parliamentary election was the first held after the Anschluss of 12 March 1938 had incorporated Austria into Nazi Germany. Reflecting this fact, the parliament from this point forward was named Der Großdeutsche Reichstag (The Greater German Reichstag). In addition to the Reichstag deputies elected from Germany proper, a total of 73 new deputies were elected to represent the newly named Land Österreich, bringing the total number of members to 814. According to the official election results, almost 49 million votes were cast (99.6% turnout), 99.1% of them for the electoral lists of the NSDAP. At the supplementary election conducted on 4 December 1938, 41 deputies from the recently annexed Sudetenland also entered the Reichstag. According to the official election results, almost 2.5 million votes were cast (98.61% turnout), 98.90% of them for the Nazi Party electoral list. The subsequent admission of deputies from other areas that became part of the Reich raised the final number of members of the 4th electoral term to 876.

Sessions

The Reichstag members of the 4th electoral term met at the Kroll Opera House for eight sessions, the first being on 30 January 1939 and the last being on 26 April 1942. The only laws passed by the Reichstag during this time were the Law Extending the Enabling Act (30 January 1939) and the Law on the Reunification of the Free City of Danzig with the German Reich (1 September 1939). They also passed a resolution at their last session proclaiming Adolf Hitler "Supreme Judge of the German People", officially allowing him to override the judiciary and the civil service by removing judges and other officials without due process.

Term extension

On 25 January 1943, Hitler extended the term of the Reichstag members until 30 January 1947 by enacting the Law on the Extension of the Electoral Term of the Greater German Reichstag. This sought to avoid having to hold elections during the Second World War. Due to Germany's defeat and surrender on 8 May 1945, no election was ever held.

04

Presidium

The Reichstag Presidium, consisting of a president and three deputies, was elected en bloc at the first meeting on 30 January 1939.

05

Members

The Law Against the Formation of Parties of 13 July 1933 established the Nazi Party (NSDAP) as the only legal political party. As a result, in all subsequent Reichstag terms, the only parliamentary faction allowed was that of the NSDAP. Members of the Reichstag who did not formally belong to the Nazi Party were listed as "guests" of the NSDAP faction. There were only eleven such members in the Reichstag seated in the 4th electoral term. A total of 814 Reichstag deputies were elected on 10 April 1938. This was raised to 855 after the supplementary election of 4 December 1938. Eighteen deputies were elected from the national electoral list and the remainder from individual constituencies. A listing of the members follows. Changes in Reichstag membership due to deaths, resignations or expulsions occurring up until 8 May 1945, and any resulting replacements, are annotated in the "Notes" column.
