• 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
