True. And the saying "Hitler was democratically elected" is somewhat misleading when spoken by Americans, who have a two-party political system. Weimar Germany had a parliamentary system, with many different political parties. The highest percentage of votes that Hitler ever received, in the numerous elections in which he ran for office, was about 39 percent of the total. However, the percentage he received in the election after which he was appointed Chancellor was barely 33% of the total. He was only appointed Chancellor due to sustained political maneuvering among the elites who believed they could control him and get him out of office in short order. As we know, they were dead wrong in their assumptions about him.
