I was never taught in school that the National Socialists were voted into power. They like to skip over that.

They alway used words and phrases such as "took over", which implies they did it without the people's consent.

They were part of a coalition government with Adolf Hitler appoint chancellor under President von Hindenburg. Hindenburg didn't really like Hitler but he feared the Communists far more. Communism made Hitler and National Socialism possible.

Really? My history class was very clear about how the nazi party was voted into office,. With increasing levels of support. Starting out like kind of a joke party, not really taken seriously, then slowly gaining political traction over a period of years.
Kind of hard not to when then political meetings of other parties start getting violently broken up by the brown shirts. And then the Reichstag catches fire. This "mysterious accident" prompts the German patriot act, granting emergency powers to the Fuhrer, who uses these powers to expand his powers. The "votes" after this point are about as meaningful as a vote in North Korea today. Voting for, and belonging to the party were pretty much mandatory for success, and eventually survival. A vote in this case is a show of interest in ones own well being, and not necessarily an endorsement of the leaders policies

"Voted into power" is ridiculously misleading. Nazis won about 43% of the vote (coincidentally, about equal to Donny Dipshit's most favorable poll numbers). And they only managed to do that by openly, brazenly harassing and molesting the other parties and generally intimidating the public. And let's now forget starting the Reichstag fire and blaming it on the communists.

I'm sure people back then remembered when Communists tried to overthrow Weimar. They were legit doing the same shit they do today, beat and harass everyday honest people.
