German Government
History
By 1932, the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei was the largest single party in Germany, but not the majority. In the election that year, Nazis polled 38 percent of the vote. After Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933-01, the German government became a totalitarian regime ruled by Hitler and his Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.
