Overthrowing oppressive regimes by military force

[abaris]

Well...... The Nazis were the largest party in the Reichstag when President Hindenburg appointed Hitler to be Chancellor and form a government in a coalition with the German National People's Party which had been pre-arranged by his predecessor as Chancellor, Franz Von Papen.

But Hindenburg wouldn't have appointed him if Papen hadn't vouched for him and to keep him in check. Hindenburg had many faults, but to his credit he was opposed to Hitler. Hitler never would have gained power without conservative support. Among them the Murdoch of the time. Alfred Hugenberg.
