President Hindenburg appoints Adolf Hitler Chancellor of Germany (jan 30, 1933 – jan 30, 1933)
Description:
Recently appointed as German chancellor, Adolf Hitler greets President Paul von Hindenburg in Potsdam, Germany, on March 21, 1933. Hitler appears in civilian dress, bowing in deference to the heavily decorated von Hindenburg. After the March 5, 1933 elections failed to realize Nazi hopes for an absolute majority in the German parliament, photo opportunities such as this one conferred legitimacy on Hitler's leadership
