He was appointed Chancellor by President Hindenburg.
Führer is the German word for Leader. Hitler got the title of the Führer or Leader of the Nazi party in 1920. In 1934, shortly before the President of Germany died, the German Congress passed a new law which said that in the event of the death of the President, the offices of the Chancellor and the President would be combined and the holder of both offices would be known as Der Führer. According to German law, the Chancellor of Germany succeeded the President because there was no Vice President. There was a Vice Chancellor who succeeded the Chancellor under the German law, but under the new law there was no Chancellor.
He wasn't President, he was Chancellor and Reichsfuhrer from 1933 until his suicide in April 1945
He ran for chancellor; which in Germany was the position with the most power-even more than the president. and if you dare try to kill Hitler then YOU die! hahahaha just like stain!
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.
