Chancellor Bruning resigned as Chancellor in May 1932 due to his inability to win support for his policies. He was

replaced by von Papen of the Centre Party. (the fourth biggest party in the Reichstag)

Chancellor Bruning Chancellor von Papen

My party do not have many seats in

the Reichstag, which large party

could I make a coalition with?

Page 3: How did Hitler become Chancellor in 1933?

Chancellor von Papen

I called a general election for July

1932, how do you think that went?

NASDAP = Nazi

SPD = Social Democrats

KPD = Communists

Zentrum = Centre Party

Should I still be Chancellor?

As the leader of the largest party in the Reichstag I

believe that I should be made Chancellor!

230 seats and 37.3% of the vote.

Not a chance mate!

Why do you think Hindenburg refused the make Hitler

Chancellor?

At the meeting in August 1932 Hindenburg refused

to offer Hitler the Chancellorship. He could

not answer, he said, before God, his

conscience and the fatherland, if he handed over the entire power of

the government to a single party and one which was intolerant towards those with

different views.

Despite Hitler’s demands for the role of Chancellor von Papen stayed on in the role at Hindenburg’s request. Von

Papen though the Nazis were a flash in the pan and ordered a new election for November 1932.

NASDAP = Nazi

SPD = Social Democrats

KPD = Communists

Zentrum = Centre Party

Nazis win 196 seats and 33.1% of the vote. Centre Party wins 70 seats and 11.0% of the vote.

Lets abolish the constitution! No? I’m off!

As very few people trusted or supported von Papen, I Kurt von Scheicher was made chancellor. I attempted to form a huge

coalition but I didn’t really work and upset the Nazis.

Chancellor von PapenAdolf Hitler

I know we’ve had our differences

but…

Von Papen was so desperate to return to power he met with Hitler in January 1933 and decided that Hitler should lead with him a Chancellor.

Hitler could be controlled.

Many rich industrialists got behind this plan as they believed that Hitler would save Germany from a possible communist revolution.

A strong figurehead eh…

Von Papen convinced Hindenburg that Hitler would be a figurehead to bring back stability but that he

could be controlled. On 30 January 1933 Hitler succeeded in becoming Chancellor by legal and

democratic means.

So what was political

scheming and how did it help

Hitler to become Chancellor?
