Question

How did Hitler capture power in Germany?

Answer 1

Hitler's rise to power began in September 1919 in Germany when he joined Deutsche Arbeiterpartei - German Workers' Party (DAP) which was a political party.

Later the party changed the name to National Socialist German Workers' Party(NSDAP) which was commonly known as Nazi Party. This was during the post World war I era.

The reason Hitler rose to power was because he was prominent in party that was anti-Marxist and opposed to the democratic post war government of Weimar Republic and the Treaty of Versailles.

The party fought for extreme nationalism and Pan-Germanism and spiteful anti-semitism. Adolf was the prominent speaker of the party and demanded that he be made leader of the party.. Therefore he took advantage of the situation in Germany to rise in power with the Nazis.

The party engaged in electoral battles in which Adolf Hitler participated as organizer and speaker. The Nazi gained enough electoral support to make them the largest political party in the Reichstag. Hitler also converted the party from non majority to plurality status allowing it to have effective governing power in the then dying Weimar Republic of 1933.

Answer 2

Hitler's "rise" can be considered to have ended in March 1933, after the Reichstag adopted the Enabling Act of 1933 in that month. President Paul von Hindenburg had already appointed Hitleras Chancellor on 30 January 1933 after a series of parliamentary elections and associated backroom intrigues.
