Hitler wasn't really elected. His party never once had a majority vote. He got 30 ish percent iirc.

He was nominated as Chancellor as a cop out to try and appease the masses which he had stirred up.

It was closer to 40, but yes, he never won a majority nation-wide. Minority governments are a thing though, and he got the job democratically. It's accurate to say he was elected.
