6. Hitler was not elected

Edited on Thu Mar-09-06 02:52 PM by rman

By means of political maneuvering and power-play he managed to convince the then German Cancelor to hand over authority to him. The very first thing he did was declare a state of emergency, and grant himself all the power of the government.
So Hitler came to power semi-legally under a democratic system - but without actually being elected, and once he was in power he turned Germany into a dictatorship.
