Why the Nazis come to power?

During the German Wiemar Republic election of 1932, Hitler failed to receive the majority of votes for presidency. However, the Nazi party had 230 members on the German council, this was the biggest group at that time. However in 1933, Hitler was appointed to chancellor of Germany by Paul Von Hindenburg. After the infamous Reichstag fire allowed Hitler to convince Germany action needed to be taken to prevent communist subversion. The origins of the fire have never been discovered, with people believing it was a conspiracy by the Nazis. In the aftermath of the fire Hitler managed to convince the Reichstag to grant him emergency powers, this allowed him to create laws without the consent of the Reichstag. This was passed 441 to 84, a huge majority. Hitler used these powers destroy German democracy. When Hindenburg died, Hitler officially became dictator.
