Sorry pal, Hitler Partyw the National Socialist Democratic Workers Party (NSDAP) NAZI Party, was legitimately elected to parliment in 1930 and won 18% of the seats in the Parliament. In 1932 Hitler became a German citizen when he was appointed as an administrator for the State of Brunswick to the Reichstag in Berlin. He had renounced his Austrian citizenship seven years before.

He then ran for President anainst Hidenburgh in 1932 elections, after receiving almost forty percent of the votes forcing a run off election. He lost to Hidenburgh in the a run off election.

The absence of an effective government prompted two influential politicians, Franz von Papen and Alfred Hugenberg, along with several other industrialists and businessmen, to write a letter to von Hindenburg. The signers urged Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as leader of a government “independent from parliamentary parties”, which could turn into a movement that would “enrapture millions of people”.

Hindenburg reluctantly agreed to appoint Hitler as chancellor after two further parliamentary elections—in July and November 1932—had not resulted in the formation of a majority government. Hitler was to head a short-lived coalition government formed by the NSDAP and Hugenberg’s party, the German National People’s Party (DNVP). On January 30, 1933 the new cabinet was sworn in during a brief and simple ceremony in Hindenburg’s office. The NSDAP held three of the eleven posts: Hitler was elected and named chancellor. Hermann Goring was named minister without portfolio, and Wilhelm Frick was appointed minister of the interior.

So even though he never held a popular elected office, he was very legitimately and LEGALLY elected by the coalition government through a very legal appointment by the President.

He then went on to great fame, or at least infamy, as leader of the German Third Reich, you may have heard of him.

It was underhanded and dirty like most politics but it was LEGAl and LEGITIMATE every step of the way.

Read your own post, Hitler was appointed, not elected.
