God, the ignorance burns.
HITLER WAS NOT ELECTED!!!!
He was appointed, the Nazis were routed in the last free elections in Germany, but once Hitler was appointed Chancellor, he engineered a coup behind the scenes.
This is correct. His attempt to be democratically elected some years earlier failed.
He was appointed chancellor because no other party could maintain a stable government.
Yep, but facts have mot matter matters to the the Leftist agiprop machine pretending to be “Journalists” in the USA for at least 3 decades now.
History! It’s like harder than match, dude!
Hindenburg elected him. /s
It’s the Wash Post. They can’t be expected to understand the complexities of the Weimar parliamentary system.
They just say “Hitler” a lot.
March, 1933 election
Nazis - 17,277,180 votes, 288 seats
SPD - 7,516,243 votes, 128 seats
Communists - 4,848,058 votes, 81 seats
Catholic Center - 4,424,905 votes, 70 seats
National People’s = 3,136,760 52 seats
Barvarian People’s - 1,073,552 18 seats
Yeah, I get tired of hearing that Hitler was elected, too. Support for the Nazis was eroding by the time of the last election. Hitler always claimed he would take power legally. He was indeed appointed to the chancellorship legally, but once he achieved that office, the SA basically beat his opponents into submission; then came the Reichstag fire, and emergency powers to basically kill his enemies, and it was all over for Germany.
He likely would have been in time. He was appointed to the post of Chancellor as a preemptive move by Hindenburg.
Hitler received 37% of the vote in the runoff of 1932.
> HITLER WAS NOT ELECTED!!!!
Who do you thing you are? The media? Don’t you know the media write history and it is what they say and it may change tomorrow.
Reminded me of the night of the Paris attacks. CNN’s anchor spent over 30 minutes saying “the worst attack Paris has ever experienced” and “France has never tried to close their border before”. Someone with knowledge of WWII finally told her about the war during a commercial break and she started adding “in recent memory”.
You are correct.
GOOD CATCH!!
I was about to say the same thing. Hitler was NOT elected. He was appointed by Von Papen/Hindenberg (with support from a few other fools) who thought they could control him like a puppet. By underestimating the evil political genius that was Hitler, they made one of the biggest mistakes in history.
