America's first look at a Subaru and Mitsubishi's
Thanks!
"DSK" wrote The German election(s) never produced a Nazi majority nor did they elect Hitler as Chancellor. The National Socialists (Nazis) did pull in enough votes that they could have been a major player in a coalition gov't, but Hitler didn't have the patience for that nor the temperament to work productively with others. Instead he went to the duly elected President (Von Hindenburg, an old-guard Prussian) and made a back room deal to have himself appointed Chancellor. This gave him the authority he needed to order soldiers to prevent most of the anti-Nazi representatives from voting against his measures grabbing further power. Hitler took power in what amounted to a coup d'etat. He was popular enough that people put up with it, and waged a full-time public relations campaign to gain more popularity. Same thing has been done before... Cromwell immediately comes to mind. DSK |
