Hitler didn't win the presidential election, he got 36% of the vote to Hindenburg 59% of the vote. Hindenburg appointed Hitler as Chancelor for complex political reasons but he had planned to replace him with one of his own political allies later. However, Hitler proved to be politically smarter than Hindenburg.


No true, but he won other lections..the nsdap became big so Hindenburg had to accept him.
this is the best source I could find

He advance in politics was a weird mix of luck, cheating and votes 


I think I've already covered this. In tjhe Weimar republic, unlike Germany now, the President had major powers and was more powerful than the Chancellor, who now has the most power. Hitler had the largest Party in the Reichstag, about 32% if I remember rightly which is why Hindenburg invited Hitler to be Chancellor. This is the problem with proportional representation, its more democratic than most democratic systems but it allows exteremists a voice. However, Hindenburg  thought he could control Hitler but Hitler proved to be the wilier politician. After the Reichstag fire, he introduced a Patriot Act of sorts, formed the Gestapo (which was already effectively formed) and under that act was able to arrest all those leaders that opposed him. The NAZI were very efficient at arresting opposition and creating a secret police force to clamp down on society that the myth grew up that no Germans opposed the NAZIs. Estimates vary because there are no reliable figures but many hundreds of thousands of the German opposition died in the death camps.

au contraire - quite a few in Austria I've met. I try not to look shellshocked but I dont think I pull it off well.

and if you're lucky, you might just still see some German artics roaming about emblazoned with the name of the company owner in 4ft high letters "Adolf Heiter" - now that makes you take a double, triple, quadruple take.

Enjoy yourselves, lads and lasses.

never mind, perhaps its best not to raze it again and to leave the subject of hair Hitler neatly trimmed off like this
