Say that history continues as normal until 1932, where instead of an enormous Social Democrat gains, there is a victory for the National Socialist German Worker's Party, leading to that wackjob Hitler becoming Chancellor. If this happened how would it affect the Germano-Russian War? Would the Soviets even attack East Prussia? Would Hitler start a second Great War? What about the Italian Civil War, that hot mess of Fascists, Communists, Monarchists and Republicans? Would the United States get involved? Would the Republicans lose to the Soviet-backed communists, or the Spanish backed Fascists?
Your thoughts.
 
I maintain that the Communists would start a coup d'etat and overthrow the Nazis.

But the DNVP was actually reasonably influential, and the Freikorps which formed their core had already managed to score lethal hits against the Communists during the Spartacist uprising, which does suggest that they had a good chance of overpowering them, IMO.
 
It'd be difficult for them to form a coalition with anyone. AFAIK the conservative parties didn't like the whole 'socialist' bit very much, and despite that the SPD and KPD hated the Nazis even more than they hated each other. There's no way they could have won a majority on their own. My guess is it would have proceeded to new elections, and its anyone's guess how that would have come out

It wouldn't have butterflied the Second Great War I'm afraid. In fact, if Hitler had been Chancellor it would have been far worse! The Social Democrats narrowly lost the 1936 elections to a conservative coalition, who were kinda dickish, but not as bad as the Nazis.
(As evil as the Croatian and Bulgarian governments were, they were the only real monsters on the Central Powers' side and the Germans actually cut their ties with them towards the end.) Germany still got broken apart in 1948 with East Germany's capital in Frankfurt(Oder), though since Stalin died in July 1945 and had been replaced with Leon Trotsky, the treatment of Germany in general was far less harsh than many Westerners expected.

The Social Democrats, as we know, regained power after the Jamaican Missile Crisis in 1962 and dominated national politics until the late 1970s and still have a considerable following to this day.
 
Dude, have you ever read Mein Kompf, AKA "Hitler's insane to-do list if he ever rose to power"???

He wouldn't have lasted a week before the mobs killed him, is what I'm saying.

I have.....holy s**t was this guy demented! He reminds me of a guy named Jefferson Davis Caden who was a member of the Reform Party and used to tour all over the country back in the '80s(guy nearly won the governorship of Miss. back in '79 btw,...only lost because because Bill Winter had better funding than Caden did, more than anything). Rumour has it he took a lotta pages out of this book of Hitler's when writing his own material......
