On this day August 19, 1934, Adolf Hitler, already chancellor, is also elected president of Germany in an unprecedented consolidation of power in the short history of the republic.
If you had continued to read the article on history.com from which you quoted, you would realize Hitler's "election" to President of Germany came after the suspension of civil liberties and the Night of The Long Knives purge of Hitler's political rivals.
Now, if you want to assert that Trump's election in 2016 was just as much of a sham as Hitler's election in 1934, you go ahead and make that case.
Hitler was one thing. No two. A NAZI and a DICTATOR. The President title is dubious at best since he elected himself. Kind of like Trump did. Just call Putie and it's a done deal. And if you don't believe me, just watch ALL THE VIDEOS.
