Wrong. What gave rise to Hitler was squalid backroom deals by a bunch of mainstream right politicians who were idiot enough to think they could control him even after giving him the reigns of power.

The NSDAP was on the precipice of a sharp downward turn in the polls by the time Hitler was made Reichkanzler, having lost 2m votes (from 13.75m down to 11.75m) between the July 1932 and November 1932 elections. Their appeal was actually very much on the wane as the German electorate were waking up to what the party was over that summer and autumn. Without Franz von Papen, the party would probably have become one of those weird historical footnotes you see all the time.
