Beschreibung:

-by Hindenburg, recommended by von Papen (+ others e.g. pro-Nazis close to Hindenburg)

-political intrigue/jobbery

-von Papen believed Hitler could be controlled (wrong - overestimation of power/strength of elites)

-"Republic was dead in all but name"

-causes of fall of Weimar Republic: elites (trying to use/control Hitler) fear of the left, left-wing parties failed to unite against NSDAP, reorganisation of NSDAP + expansion to national movement (able to exploit Great Depression), propaganda e.g. Hitler as Germany's saviour
