I've said it before, but Wikipedia is generally accurate enough to cite for argument on the internet. No need to disparage it every time it is quoted.

How's that so true here...

About the pictures, got to love those kodachromes or agfachromes (depending if the pitures were from german sources or american ones)!

Unfortunate but very true....I doubt there are many of the older established countries without a ghost or two in the cupboard.

this>>Wikipedia.org, mkay? in my edition it's chapters 9-11. There is one more good book but I can't recall the title atm- it's about 30 crucial days before the elections.

PS: Henry Ashby Turner, 30 days of Hitler's life or sth like that. Nothing about fake elections.

So the KPD's leadership wasn't arrested before the elections and the SA did not suppress those who openly opposed the NSDAP?

BTW, Hitler was an Austrian, though it does not make much of a difference.

If you are really interested in how Hitler was elected look at the August 18th 1938 referendum that transferred the President's powers to the Chancellor on Hindenburg's death. The referendum was passed with 84% of the vote although it was unconstitutional.

:hmmm:
