HITLER WAS NOT ELECTED!!!!!!
not directly but they loved him... Watch.
I believe he was elected to the Reichstag.
But I’ve been wrong before (an ex-wife as evidence).
No German Chancellor was elected. His party won a parliamentary majority, and he was appointed by the President.
Nobody voted for Margaret Thatcher outside of her parliamentary constituency of Finchley, either.
In July, 1932, the NSDAP got 37%, the SPD was second with 21%
In November, 1932, the NSDAP got 33%, the SPD was second with 20%
In March, 1933, the NSDAP got almost 44%, the SPD was second with 18%
The Communists were third all three times.
Hitler had put together a coalition government - DNVP got 2 cabinet seats and pulled over 8% in the 1933 elections. The vons (technically independent at that point) also were represented. von Papen, von Neurath, von Blomberg, von Eltz-Rübenach and von Krosigk represented the old lesser nobility.
So the Hitler coalition came out of the 1933 election with a 52% majority.
Yeah, he was was but by a slim margin and it was a tenuous one at that. It was the Reichstag fire that allowed him to sieze full power, suspend elections and outlaw all other political parties. Lefties always need violence to come to power.
