"Can we please quash the myth that the Nazis were voted into power?...." No, because it's not a myth. In the massively fractured political process, and due to the Germans using proportional representation rather than a 'first past the post system', the Nazis were the party with the largest number of votes and, consequently, the largest elected party in the Reichstag after the November 1932 elections, and thus was given the position of Chancellor. Hitler's Nazis then saw an increase in votes in the German Federal Elections of March 1933, though still not an outright majority. Hitler did manage to gather enough support amongst other elected parties to gain the majority support he required to pass the Enabling Act (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act_of_1933) which gave Hitler supreme power - nothing to do with the German Army. Please take your revisionist 'view' of history down the library for a reality check. If anything, Hitler's rise to power shows the danger of popularist socialist politicians (yes, National Socialist Party) and the risks of poroportional representation.
