Leave Schleicher out of this. He wanted none of that. It was because of von Papen, his conservative entourage and Hindenburg's son that made it possible.
Schleicher was gunned down along with his wife the very next year in the purge.
Oh, I know he fell to a Long Knife. But wasn't his intrigues in Dec of '32 that set up the whole mess?
