"Third German Empire"; what Hitler replaced the Weimar Republic with once he was appointed chancellor
There was none. No such position existed. Germany was a monarchy at the time led by Kaiser (king) Wilhem the 2nd, the next highest position was that of Chancellor. This was a weak (unless given power by the Kaiser) position held by Friedrich Ebert; this Kaiser unlike the previous one was unwilling to share power with his Chancellor. Now, after the war and the Treaty of Versailles the Weimar Republic did have a President, the first of whom just happened to be Friedrich Ebert again. The President in the Weimar Republic system is role unlike that of the US president since the Weimar Republic was a semi presidential system and the power was split with the chancellor.
