• Chancellor: Heinrich Brünning.

• President: Paul von Hindemburg.

I didn’t have the support of the Parliament

so…I had to call for new elections

I demand to be made

Chancellor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t trust Hitler…I will reappoint von Papen

Mr. Hitler, do you want to be vice-chancellor?

I’ll rather wait for the next set of elections

We lost 34

seats!!!

I will call von Schleicher as

Chancellor

Nazis should be weakened

I will choose the nazi Strasser to be vice-

Chancellor instead of Hitler

Don’t accept it, ok?

I won’t, mein Führer!

What a mess! What should I do…? I rather offer Hitler the post of

Chancellor…

Great idea!

I will call for new elections…perhaps we could win some more

seats

I still have some opposition…I will

declare the Communist party

illegal

I will also sign the Enabling Act, which will

enable me to govern for 4 years without the

Parliament

Röhm is my political opponent. I should

assassinate him and his SA men…

I’m now President+Chancellor
