looks like i didn't do enough research in this, you appear to be right that he was not democratically elected, but "President Paul von Hidenburg faced pressure from the outside" where did this pressure you mention here come from? |
It's pretty obvious ...
Hitler came in second during the 1932 german presidential elections and I would describe it to be a fairly strong second place and not a distant second ...
Hitler's party, the NSDAP became a plurality in the Reichstag during the 1932 german federal elections ...
Despite not winning presidency, his party not being the majority in the Reichstag and the fact that Hidenburg himself despised Hitler at every turn he still appointed Hitler ...
After that things got 10x more convenient for Hitler with the Enabling Act of 1933 in Germany and the president dying soon after ...
