The best part is that Hitler didn't win, Hindenburg won with 53% of the vote, and proceeded to staff all the positions of power with nazis, and then hand power over to Hitler.

The social democrats split from the communists and supported Hindenburg because "this is the most important election ever" and "we need unity and bipartisanship" type rhetoric.

Naturally that unity and bipartisanship meant working with the fascists against the communists.

The communists, ever cursed with Casandra Syndrome, ran on "A vote for Hindenburg is a vote for Hitler; a vote for Hitler is a vote for war."
