  I was led to believe that he's initially lost the elections and was later appointed to the position.  In the presidential election held on March 13, 1932, there were four candidates: the incumbent, Field Marshall Paul von Hindenburg, Hitler, and two minor candidates, Ernst Thaelmann and Theodore Duesterberg. The results were:  Hindenburg 49.6 percentHitler 30.1 percentThaelmann 13.2 percentDuesterberg 6.8 percent At the risk of belaboring the obvious, almost 70 percent of the German people voted against Hitler, causing his supporter Joseph Goebbels, who would later become Hitlerâs minister of propaganda, to lament in his journal, âWeâre beaten; terrible outlook. Party circles badly depressed and dejected.â    Since Hindenberg had not received a majority of the vote, however, a runoff election had to be held among the top three vote-getters. On April 19, 1932, the runoff results were:   Hindenburg 53.0 percentHitler 36.8 percentThaelmann 10.2 percent  Thus, even though Hitlerâs vote total had risen, he still had been decisively rejected by the German people.  The July 31, 1932, election produced a major victory for Hitlerâs National Socialist Party. The party won 230 seats in the Reichstag, making it Germanyâs largest political party, but it still fell short of a majority in the 608-member body.  On January 30, 1933, President Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler chancellor of Germany. Although the National Socialists never captured more than 37 percent of the national vote, and even though they still held a minority of cabinet posts and fewer than 50 percent of the seats in the Reichstag, Hitler and the Nazis set out to to consolidate their power. With Hitler as chancellor, that proved to be a fairly easy task.  That's not the way I always heard it. I never looked into statistics I always just heard Hitler won the elections. Maybe your electon statistics are not official? They could be Zionist false history issued election results, could be. If they are accurate maybe they rigged it AGAINST Hitler you think of that? This is Weimar jew/Rothschild Germany we're talking about. The German people loved Hitler. Period. The only reason some people didn't like Hitler in the later days of the Third Reich was because of the war, some people blamed it on Hitler(it wasn't his fault, he didn't start the war). And after the war, all of these terrible Holocaust FABRICATIONS and exaggerations started coming out and people were shocked that this sort of thing was going on right under their noses.    But the nazis and Hitler have nothing to do with my Fascist views anyhow. I'm not exactly a NS, just Fascist, American. Fascism is set up in a way to prevent Zionists/marxists/jews the enemy from infiltrating us on the highest levels. A Fascist America could not be subverted by the Zionists. It is set up specifically to guard against that, which is where my beloved America failed us miserably.
