He was never "President", although Germany has had a President since the end of World War I, and still has one.

Hitler's first government position was when he was appointed Chancellor in January 1933; prior to then, he was just the leader of the Nazi Party, and was never elected or appointed to any office.

After President Hindenburg died in August 1934, no new President was elected. Instead, Hitler just took the powers of the presidency along with the chancellorship, and gave himself the new title of "Führer" (German for "leader"). He held the title of Führer until his death in 1945.
