The Nazis never had more than 10% membership the people did not to WANT to give him power, it was seized through threats and intimidation. They never got more than 34% of the vote prior to seizing power, and never got a majority even after they banned all other parties., hardly the Svengali like powers you are ascribing to them.

Mar 3, 2017 at 22:35 comment added Nate Dukes Guess my history teacher from 9th grade was an idiot then, apologies. Hold up, Hitler did rise to power because the people wanted him to come to power; Hindenberg only made him Chancellor, the rest was Hitler's cunning. He became Dictator because of "The Act," and people had to vote for that to pass.
