Re: " Hitler was elected in Germany"

I hate to be a pest but Hitler was never elected to high office in Germany. He was appointed High Chancellor. The Nazi's never won a majority vote in Germany.

But they did win enough of a vote to have enough seats to pull a coup.

They may not have been a majority party, but they were not insignificant. Germany was not a two-party government, and the Nazis controlled about 30% of the seats if I remember correctly. That's a sizable minority in a multi-party government.
