There are some misconceptions about how Hitler came to power. It is important to understand that:
Hitler did not seize power in a coup; and
Hitler was not directly elected to power.
Rather, Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power through Germany’s legal political processes. According to the 1919 German constitution, the position of chancellor was appointed by the president.
Guess Germans should’ve voted harder then. Oh wait, there was a Communist Party who attempted a revolution before Hitler came to power and they failed because the Freikorps killed them? Well I wonder who started the Freikorps…
