Best Answer

Chancellor was the top man in German Politics ( still is, they also have a president but he is a lower-level official, no US equivalent. Sorry to relate , Adolf Hitler was legitimately elected by the voting populace of Germany to the post of Chancellor- which once in, he expanded to Fuhrer ( Leader) and ReichsKanzler- Imperial or Realm chancellor- de facto- Dictator. Adolf was elected by the people- He did not March into Berlin with a Tank convoy! This is one of the tragic failures of ( People"s Government). In a different vein the Italian Empire was ditched- not by Mussolini ( he was already dead) the Communists, or the Neo-Nazis- but by our old friend (?) the Ballot Box- in l946.

1932- he was elected president

Not to be rude, but just so you know, Hitler was not a democratically elected president. Nor did he follow Democratic Principles. He was a Dictator and establsihed Communism in Germany after the German economy crashed. So he was never 'elected' and was never a 'president' He overthrew The Weimar Republic (the government before Hitler) and became a Dictator.

Actually, a note on that first answer, Hitler was never president, he was Chancellor, and he became chancellor by legal means.

Following the death of the previous German president, Paul von Hindenburg on 2 August 1934, Hitler held a national referendum to unite the offices of president and chancellor. The German electorate voted "yes" and from then on Hitler's official title was "Führer and Reich Chancellor"

Yes he was. ____________ He was appointed by President Hindenburg who hoped that his appointment would break the deadlock in German politics. Hitler was never elected to office. He ran for office exactly twice, first losing to Paul Von Hindenburg (correctly identified above as the incumbent president) with 32% of the vote, and then with 36.8% in a do-over. Hitler was able to consolidate power via The Enabling Act, The Reichstag Fire Decree, and the death of Paul Von Hindenburg. The assertion that Adolph Hitler was elected to any office is patently false.

Actually yes Hittler was elected by one vote in 1923. One vote put him in power and then in turn he ruled as a dictator.

When did Franklin D. Roosevelt become president of the US?

FDR became President in 1933-1945: Adolf Hitler came to power the same year as Franklin D Roosevelt... The truth about FDR was hidden from the American public, FDR was a bigot and racist's Adolf Hitler was exterminating the Jews, there were 6,000 Jews that escaped Adolf Hitler's persecution and came to America, mostly Jewish children... But Franklin D Roosevelt sent these 6,000 Jews back to Hitler and Hitler exterminated all 6,000 including 6 million more...FDR knew of Adolf Hitler's persecution of the Jews and Christians and said nothing to the American public, Democrats also owned the media back then...
