"The Great Depression provided a political opportunity for Hitler. Germans were ambivalent about the parliamentary republic, which faced challenges from right- and left-wing extremists. /1pic.twitter.com/azpsexF5or
"Throughout 1929 Germany worked on achieving a final settlement on the issue of German war debts. The proposed final settlement, known as the Young Plan, was considered relatively favourable to Germany./2pic.twitter.com/3YB5IAWGDc
"Opposition to the Young Plan was led by nationalist politician and media baron, Alfred Hugenberg. He set up a league of many right-wing organisations to campaign together against the Plan./3pic.twitter.com/6YskR1jjIf
"Hugenberg admired the Nazis' dynamism and youthful enthusiasm and hoped to use them as a 'drum' in the campaign against the Young Plan /4pic.twitter.com/Mg78hlKFmS
"Centre parties all supported the Young Plan. The right hoped that the public would be more sympathetic. Enough signatures expressing support for the proposition were gathered to force a referendum. The fact that a sufficient signatures were gathered surprised observers./5
"The referendum was very favourable to the Nazi Party. Exposure in Hugenberg's widely read newspapers gave the Nazis free publicity. Campaigning with the mainstream right-wing parties gave Hitler a credibility./6
"[Meanwhile] chancellor Heinrich Brüning of the Centre Party governed through emergency decrees from President Paul von Hindenburg. Governance by decree became the new norm and paved the way for authoritarian forms of government./7pic.twitter.com/egT34aPAZn
"The NSDAP rose from obscurity to win 18.3 per cent of the vote and 107 parliamentary seats in the 1930 election, becoming the second-largest party in parliament/8pic.twitter.com/kuLofpnje1
"Brüning's austerity measures brought little economic improvement and were extremely unpopular. Hitler exploited this by targeting specifically at people who had been affected by the inflation of the 1920s and the Depression, such as farmers, war veterans, and the middle class./9pic.twitter.com/4HWcdIQpQH
"Hitler ran against Hindenburg in the 1932 presidential elections. Although he lost to Hindenburg, this election established Hitler as a strong force in German politics./10pic.twitter.com/gkrQv2Y2ys
"Two influential politicians, Franz von Papen and Alfred Hugenberg, with several industrialists and businessmen urged Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as leader of a government "independent from parliamentary parties", [envisioning this would] "enrapture millions of people"./11pic.twitter.com/jJfENq4GNG
"Hindenburg reluctantly agreed to appoint Hitler as chancellor after two further parliamentary elections had not resulted in the formation of a majority government. /12
"Hitler headed a short-lived coalition government formed by the NSDAP and Hugenberg's German National People's Party (DNVP). The NSDAP gained three posts: chancellor, Minister of Interior, and Minister of Interior Prussia [providing] control over the police in Germany./13
"[Hitler] asked Hindenburg [again for new elections]. On 27 Feb 1933, the Reichstag building was set on fire by Dutch commununist Van der Lubbe. At Hitler's urging, Hindenburg responded w/ Reichstag Fire Decree which suspended basic rights & allowed detention without trial. /14pic.twitter.com/Kgj1raC5p9
"The NSDAP [also] engaged in paramilitary violence and the spread of anti-communist propaganda in the days preceding the election. On election day the party acquired the largest number of seats in parliament. Hitler's party failed to secure an absolute majority./15pic.twitter.com/kWGr8CcSOf
"To achieve full political control Hitler's government brought the Ermächtigungsgesetz (Enabling Act) to a vote in the newly elected Reichstag: the power to enact laws without the consent of the Reichstag for four years. These laws could deviate from the constitution. /16
"[The act] required a two-thirds majority. The Nazis used the Reichstag Fire Decree to arrest all 81 Communist deputies and prevent several Social Democrats from attending./17pic.twitter.com/ez44kBp8ia
"On 23 March 1933, the Reichstag assembled at the Kroll Opera House. Ranks of SA men served as guards inside the building, while large groups outside opposing the proposed legislation shouted slogans and threats towards the arriving members of parliament./18pic.twitter.com/p9c7vs014t
"The Centre Party, the third largest party in the Reichstag, was decisive. After Hitler verbally promised party leader Ludwig Kaas that Hindenburg would retain his power of veto, Kaas announced the Centre Party would support the Enabling Act. /19pic.twitter.com/iiyNhyYlbz
"The Act passed by a vote of 441–84, with all parties except the Social Democrats voting in favour. The Enabling Act, along with the Reichstag Fire Decree, transformed Hitler's government into a de facto legal dictatorship Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler#Reichstag_fire_and_March_elections … [I shortened sentences]pic.twitter.com/XoG7SZIHeu
