Some food for thought:

Over half of Americans think Hitler and the Nazis got to power by force rather than through the democratic process.

And I’d add that one of the most common misconceptions is people thinking that Hitler was democratically elected to the position of Reichskanzler.

He was appointed by President Hindenburg, who at that moment in time, was fast fading into senility and Hitler owed his position to a shabby political deal between two former Chancellors (von Schleicher and von Papen).
