"Actually Hitler gained his power after Paul Von Hindenburg died in
1934. Before that Hitler was just a chancellor and had been unable to
beat Hindenburg in the last election. So in many ways, fate was
responsible for Hilter's chance at power. "


Wrongo. Hitler's "emergency" powers were granted by Hindenburg in 1933
as a response to the Reichstag fire.

The German parliment building was torched and the Nazi's blamed
communist agitators, said that the country needed stronger leadership
to beat off attempts by the communists to take it over, etc.

Actually, the Nazis themselves did the torching, specifically to
agitate public opinion in favor of Nazi policies by blaming
anti-government forces for the deed.

Hitler said that Germany was being threatened, the people saw the
Reichstag fire as proof. Hindenburg gave in and let the Nazis run the
show.

Hitler would have blown a goat at the Berlin Zoo to get that power...a
little arson was definitely only the beginning if he had not gotten it.
