The Nazis held 230 of the 608 seats in the Bundestag in 1932, making them by far the most powerful party. For reference the second and third most powerful parties were the SPD with 133 seats, and the KPD with 89 seats, which even when combined falls far short of the Nazi total.
That at least makes Hindenburg’s attempt to placate the Nazis understandable, even it was suicidal and ultimately disastrous.
This is just the liberal party whining that the left gained any sort of power and in turn throwing a temper tantrum to make everyone else’s lives worse.
Thank you for the extra context, I don’t really know how Germany’s elections work, then and now so this is helpful.
I don’t think anything good will result from what Macron is pulling, he really did let the mask slip fully off and I wonder how the rest of the world will react.
Germany has different system closer to the united states. France is a more centralized state with stronger head of state. It’s probably closer to the Napelon III coup.
Hitler was appointed chancellor by president Hindenburg, I don’t know if it’s the same but it does feel similar.
