"Your facts ARE NOT FACTS. That’s what I’m trying to say. This is like arguing with an semi-illiterate over what the second letter of the alphabet is."

Let me first say this -- if you would scale back on the insults, and scale up the actual information, your posts would be more interesting.

Let's see if I understand what you are trying to say, minus the insults:

While Hitler's Nazi party drew increasing shares of the German vote from the mid 1920s on, and therefore increasing representation in the German Parliament (Reichstag), Hitler himself never served in the Reichstag.

When Hitler ran for President in 1932, he was defeated by Paul Hindenburg. But Hindenburg was unable to form a government without the Nazis, who now held 43% of the Reichstag seats, so in 1933 Hindenburg appointed Hitler to be the new chancellor.

Is that about it? Did you notice the absence of insults?

I notice you missed the part about apologizing for being entirely and utterly wrong about Hitler ever being elected to anything, which he wasn’t.

*When Hitler ran for President in 1932, he was defeated by Paul Hindenburg. But Hindenburg was unable to form a government without the Nazis, who now held 43% of the Reichstag seats, so in 1933 Hindenburg appointed Hitler to be the new chancellor.*

Irrelevant. Hindenburg had ruled through emergency executive powers and very strong Chancellors for nearly 3 years before Hitler was appointed.

How long shall we continue this? Some freepers are in the habit—as are a lot of ignorant people in the world—of claming that Hitler was elected. He was not. Ever. To any office.

All of this continuing bickering is idiotic because you and all these other ignoramuses are simply wrong. So acknowledge being wrong and move on. It’s simple, really, just type “I was wrong”.
