7. Exactly. Hitler took over with help from "moderate conservatives" in the Reichstag

The Socialists were outvoted after the Communists were expelled from the legislature following the Reichstag fire - now known by historians to be a Nazi false-flag event.

Similar dynamics took place in nearly all fascist takeovers: Italy, Spain, Philippines, Latin America, etc. - the "rational" right always gave the incoming dictator cover.

And to this day, their descendants are often the ones who try to rewrite history in their favor (as well as to resurrect their policies, naturally).
