Point me to a link for LaRouche's numbers and I'll be happy to have a go at it.:) BTW, I didn't say he was evil, I said he was flaky, crazy, stupid, and wrong. And that in the US the only people who follow him are also flaky, crazy, stupid, and wrong.

I find the issue too serious to allow any half truths and twisting of facts. Here's a short summary about Machtergreifung (from Encyclopedia Britanica - H for Hitler). ...In January 1933 he reaped his reward when Hindenburg invited him to be chancellor of Germany,. and he took his office with the support of Papen and Hugenberg...Once in power, Hitler proceeded to establish an absolute dictatorship. He secured the President's assent for new elections on the grounds that a majority in the Reichstag could not, after all, be obtained. The Reichstag fire on the night of February 27, 1933, provided an excuse for a degree overriding all guarantees of freedom and for an intensified campaign of violence. In these conditions, when the elections were held (March 5), the Nazis polled 43.9 percent of the votes. The Reichstag assembled in the Potsdam Garrison church, a theatrical gathering designed by Hitler to show the unity of his own movement with the old conservative Germany, represented by Hindenburg. Two days later an enabling bill, giving full power to Hitler, was passed in the Reichstag by the combined votes of Nazi, Nationalist and Centre party deputies (March 23 1933). In a nut shell the Weimar democracy did not find any means of stopping its own decapitation by a genius criminal. However there were still 30+ deputies in Reichstag who dared to vote NO on march 23 1933 (you can guess what happened to them after the vote) The present-day Germany still remembers them. The last one alive (SPD member) was 100 years in 2000.
