The 1928 federal elections saw considerable gains for the DNVP party. They were able to form a coalition of support from conservative, monarchists, nationalists and certian elements of the völkisch movement. These gains were at the cost of the NSFP and other right win parties. The lack of strong leadership from the NSFP beleaguered the party and made it hard for them to make gains in the Reichstag. With them receiving only 2.6% of the vote and 12 seats in the Reichstag.
The DNVP seemed to have the support of the Reichspräsident, as the had similar views on monarchy and the government. While Hindenburg took his oath to the Republic seriously, he did nothing to hinder the growth of monarchism and the DNVP in Germany. There are whispers that Hinderburg will not seek reelection for Reichspräsident and wants to retire. Even more interesting is the former Crown Prince, Wilhelm, might be interested in the job.
Hans Muller became the chancellor of Germany in a coalition government.
In summary, the DNVP is trying to consolidate its base and the conservative movement as a whole in Germany. Presenting it self as the only true and worthy conservative, and nationalist party in Germany.
