Yes if by that you mean that Hitler was the globe around which the Nazi Party had its orbit.
With out the cult of Personality that was Hitler the party wouldn't have gotten anywhere.
If you are trying to imply that Hitler was simply a figure head like "big brother" (Orwell's 1984) you are mistaken. Hitler was the genius (the evil genius-had more evil genius than Plutarch's Brutus) behind the Nazi party and the Nazi German Government and Military. He was its best general at the strategic level and a political Machiavelli. He took Germany from its fallen state and made it an empire and took that same empire and destroyed it, all in 12 short years. Hitler was Nazi-Germany and Nazis-Germany was Hitler the two are indistinguishable.
He pitted his henchmen (Goring,Himmler,Gerbils against each other and made them all compete for his favor and thus he insured himself as the center of Nazi Power(He didn't do this with Brahman and Spear for some reason and Brahman was an intriguer after the order of Van Popen). In the early years when he was opposed by the left wing of the German Nationalist Socialist Workers Party (Nazis) under Gregorian he had him destroyed after that he controlled the party. The person below me is right in a sense. Himmler(SS) and Goring(Luftwaffe and Party power) both held a great deal of personal power, however, Goring was deposed on the command of Hitler and he obeyed as they all obeyed in the way a feudal vasal would obey his lord from whence his power derived.

PS Monolithic=One (mono) stone (Lithic) but his terminology is common and proper.

Hitler didn't really control the Nazi party because he had people like Goering and Himmler who were controlling their own sectors. Many say that Hitler was jst lazy and was really just an image of the Nazi Party. Other ppl did his dirty work and gave him advice. Hitler however, had alot of charisma and the people who worked below him were always struggling for power among themselves.
