You seem to forget that Hitler was elected by a popular majority in an election according to the laws of Germany.

Sort of, but not exactly. This tells the whole story.


Thanks for posting the article. I know Hitler's rise well but it still makes me sick to my stomach to read about it. Weak and compromised individuals coupled with the over-the-top demands by those who defeated Germany in WW I allowed for the rise of one of the world's most evil of leaders. Millions paid for the mistakes made by a few. One has to remember that that the German people chose democracy over Hitler but in the end, their choice lost out to the highest and strongest of bidders.

So what is your point? Merkel was just elected with 35% of the popular vote behind her. Does that lead you to believe that she now became the dictator of Germany??

Hitler's was no more a dictatorship than Merkel's soon to be position as the first female Chancellor of Germany.
