With no PoDs prior to Hitler getting the Chancellorship, and without preventing the Reichstag fire, what could have gone wrong (or, for humanity as a whole, right) in Hitler's consolidation of power? (Avoid killing Hitler, if possible.) Now what would have been the result if all those wrong things happened?

Could be even have been booted by Hindenburg? Could the republic be saved? Or are the Nazis not going anywhere?

EDIT ADD: As a second challenge for the thread -- with no PoDs prior to the Summer of 1933 (when Gleichschaltung had mostly run its course), how out of hand could the Left Nazis (the SA, Strasser-ites, etc) have gotten? How close could Germany have come to a "second revolution"? And how much longer could the National Socialists who took "socialism" seriously have continued to wreck havoc / rule in Germany? And what would be the effects?
