As a point of fact, Germans never elected Hitler. The National Socialists never achieved a majority, and their share of the vote had been decreasing over successive elections. Hitler was appointed to the chancellorship by senior political leaders (the president and the former chancellor) who thought they could control him. Unfortunately Germany at the time embraced the "unitary executive" theory of government. We all know how that worked out. | ||

The German people certainly elected the coalition government, which the NSDAP was the leader of. You’re completely correct about the conservatives and others thinking they could control Hitler | ||
