11h 22min, jan 30, 1933 y - Hitler becomes Chancellor
Description:
Hitler’s power and the actions of other political parties led to German President, Paul von Hindenburg appointing the Nazi leader as German Chancellor, giving him huge powers.
1932 Germany saw the rise of the Nazi party into a prominent political force. The Weimar government had failed its people and, following the worldwide depression, Germany was in economic ruin, people’s livelihoods shattered and the nation still burdened with the humiliation of the post-First World War Treaty of Versailles. Germans, fearful of Communists and Jews, looked for an alternative and that alternative lay in Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party.
