Until 1934 Germany was a democratic country with a multi-party parliament.

Hitler was the elected leader of the NSDAP (the Nazi Party or National Socialist Party of Deutschland)

Until 1928 the rightwing nationalist parties suffered from internal competititon. In 1929 a co-ordinating body was set up. In addition the Nazis merged with some of the smaller nationalist groupings. By 1930 they were the second largest right wing party. Their reputation rested on their being the best organised. In the November 1932 elections they were the largest and best organised nationalist party although their vote declined. They campaigned in that election on the slogan "Hitler - our last hope".

The right/ nationalist block had a parliamentary majority, and on advice of other nationalist leaders the President appointed Hitler chancellor of a "National Unity" (right wing) cabinet. This created the single party state, and on the Presidents death (Aug. 1934) the office of Chancellor and President was merged in the office of Fuhrer (Leader) which Hitler created for himself.

It is open to conclude that Hitler was the beneficiary of the party's popularity, or that the Party benefitted from Hitlers popularity, or the two interacted.
