That and Hitler never won a single election. He used street muscle combined with a weak government to have Bismark appoint him. They avoided a civil war and started a world war.

Wasn’t Bismarck, it was Hindenburg. But you make a number of excellent points. Hitler never won an election. And I believe the Nazis did worse in 1932 than in 1930. So they just flipped the table and took power through their street mobs, that resulted in Hitler becoming chancellor and Hindenburg’s days were numbered.
