Hitler was NOT democratically elected.

He lost every single free election he participated in. In the last one, though, his ability to mobilize the street made Hindenburg appoint him Chancellor to appease his Resistance movement.

The Nazis won the most seats in the Reichstag in 1932. The Communists were told by Moscow not to make common cause with the Social Democrats. Hindenburg reluctantly appointed Hitler chancellor when no majority government was forthcoming and at the urging of, among others, prominent industrialists. Conservatives told Hindenburg they could tame Hitler and most folks discounted the Nazis' ability to establish a dictatorship in Germany:

"German newspapers wrote that, without doubt, the Hitler-led government would try to fight its political enemies (the left-wing parties), but that it would be impossible to establish a dictatorship in Germany because there was "a barrier, over which violence cannot proceed" and because of the German nation being proud of "the freedom of speech and thought". Theodor Wolff of Frankfurter Zeitung wrote:[77]

It is a hopeless misjudgement to think that one could force a dictatorial regime upon the German nation. [...] The diversity of the German people calls for democracy.
    —?Theodor Wolff in Frankfurter Zeitung, Jan 1933"

They were, of course, wrong.

1) yes, his party won most seats given party fragmentation, but not enough to constitute government. Thus he was not democratically elected, he was appointed after 2 other guys had been appointed too and had to resign given the pressure from the street

2) go and find out what he did withi a week, and what no president here has ever tried and could never work

Some here are banalizing nazism and the Holocaust to promote their own very myopic US-centric politically agenda...I frankly find that disgusting.
