Many political groups were worried by Hitler but put personal issues ahead of stopping him. Hitler and the Nazis were underestimated by many people; they claimed Hitler was “hired” after he became Chancellor.
ANALYSIS (AGAINST)
Large numbers of Germans – especially richer ones – wanted Hitler to be leader of Germany. Whoever was President, they would have been pressured to appoint Hitler as Chancellor.
EVALUATION (AGAINST)
Rival parties refused to work together, so Hindenburg was forced to appoint a new chancellor quickly.
