The Bamberg Conference consolidated Hitler's supremacy over the movement. Although divisions and tensions would continue within the Party, particularly within the SA, Hitler's own position would never be truly challenged again. Externally, however, life was very difficult for the Nazi Party. The changing socio-economic conditions after 1924 ushered in an age of recovery and optimism in which the Nazis' brand of extremism seemed outdated, as demonstrated by their meagre performances in Reichstag elections. At the grassroots level, however, local elections results were more promising. Furthermore, important developments were taking place in the party's organisational structure which were vital to the Party's rapid ascendency after 1929.
