Hitler was actually elected by the Reich stag He took power through legal means. But he called originally Chanceller and then called the Fuhrer later on.
Flying Idiot
The cast of Hindenburg - 1934 includes: Paul von Hindenburg as himself
After Hindenburg died in 1934, Hitler became the Head of the State. He gave himself the title of Führer und Reichskanzler which means leader and chancellor of the Reich.
President Hindenburg's death gave Hitler the opportunity to seize total power in Germany by elevating himself to the position of Führer, or absolute leader, of the German nation and its people.
Hindenburg kept Hitler at bay until his death in 1934. Hitler assumed supreme power at that time.
He got power as an Dictator in 1934 when Hindenburg died and Hitler putted himself as Fuhrer aka Leader of the Nazi German Third Reich.
Hitler claimed complete power in 1934, following the death of President von Hindenburg.
He became Chancellor in January 1933. When President Hindenburg died in 1934, he declared himself Fuhrer, and Germany to be a one-party state, with voting abolished.
In 1933, Germany had BOTH a President (Head of State) and Chancellor (Head of Government). Hitler was the Chancellor, and Paul von Hindenburg was the President. With the death of Hindenburg in 1934, Hitler merged the two positions into one; the Fuhrer.
Hitler amalgamated the German Presidency into his office in 1934 when President Paul Hindenburg died.
In 1933 Hitler became Chancellor as his party (the National Socialist German Workers Party) was the biggest in the Reichstag and all the other Chancellors appointed by President Hindenburg had failed. In 1934 President Hindenburg died and Hitler added the power of President to the power he already had as Chancellor, making himself the Fuhrer.
Paul von Hindenburg [1847 - 1934] was the 2nd President of Germany who handed over to Adolf Hitler his political authority and power.
