DBAHC/WI: NSDAP rises in Germany instead of Communists.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to make Adolf Hitler’s NSDAP become the main party in Germany instead of the Communists with a POD not before 1925. Also, how would this affect the world? Would it butterfly World War II, or make it completely unrecognizable? Other than that, whatever you guys think could make the NSDAP rise that’s not ASB works.
 
I think it's impossible to do not prevent it before 1925. You would have to have prevented Kornilov's coup in Russia and had the Bolsheviks united under one front instead of splitting between Trotskyite and Bukharinite factions after Lenin's assassination by the Okhrana sleeper agent Iosef Dzhugashvili. But if it's after '25 I suppose you could have a successful Beer Hall Putsch, as after the failed coup the major far-right figures in Germany were executed as traitors.

Couldn’t you try not having a Beer Hall Putsch in the first place, as it succeeding is borderline ASB?
 
NSDAP had so crazy idea that I doubt that it can succeed. Have you read Hitler's Mein Kampf? There is really crazy stuff. So probably you should at least remove Hitler and replace him by someone more moderate person.
 
I would say for a fascist Germany you would have to prevent the Kapp Putsch from succeeding, as other users said the leaders of the Beer Hall Putsch were a few crazies who felt that Kapp's Germany wasn't right-wing enough for them and had little chance of gaining public support. If Kapp fails and the Weimar Republic continues the people could turn to fascism instead of communism after the Great Depression hits.

The Strassers, maybe?

That’s a good idea, but pre-POD.
