Power

I think in The Lord of the Flies, Jack has the most power. Jack took control by instilling promises of good food, and fear. He keeps his followers in his tribe by giving them the food they want, and punishing the ones who don't(stealing Piggy's glasses, killing Piggy, threatening to kill Ralph). I think the power structure isn't destroyed until the boys get rescued because Jack then doesn't need all that power anymore. I think it isn't destroyed because people fear him, they know he'll kill if he has too, and that scares people. In The Power of One the nazi's definitely are in control. They took control because of the war going on, and Hitler being their leader. They maintained their control through terror and fear. For example at the prison with all the Africans, you saw the Germans beating them and killing them. All it took was not answering a question, or not looking them in the eyes. Others saw the germans killing Africans and they were afraid for their own lives. I think the power structure is maintained so long as Hitler, and the Germans are in power. These days we look at Africans as equals so the power the germans has obviously been destroyed.
