In 1934, Adolf Hitler, then chancellor, was also elected president of Germany, in an unprecedented consolidation of power in the republic's short history.
The Nazi ideology, promising prosperity and an end to the misery of the German people, reached great popularity with the 1929 crisis. The Nazis organized large public demonstrations where the attack on Jews, Marxists, Communists and Democrats was systematically criticized. Promising work and an end to the impositions of the Versailles Treaty, the Nazis seemed to promise the German people everything they needed most. Soon, business groups financed the Nazi Party.
In the early 1930s, the party had achieved an expressive victory that manifested itself in the predominant presence of Nazi deputies, occupying the seats of the German legislative branch. In the year 1932, Hitler lost the presidential election to Marshal Hindenburg. The following year, unable to withstand the pressures of the German economic crisis, the president called Hilter to occupy the chancellor's seat. In a short time, Hitler managed to undertake successive political coups that gave him absolute control of Germany.
