During the 1933 German general elections, which in OTL, a coalition led by Hitler's NSDAP swept to power, thrusting Hitler into the office of the Reichkanzler. With the Reichstag fire that followed, and President Hindenburg's death, this election resulted in the Nazis assuming absolute power in Germany.
So here's our scenario: instead, during that pivotal election, because of some point of divergence earlier, the German Communist Party breaks with the Comintern, and forms a Popular Front coalition with the more moderate Marxist Social Democrats. This Popular Front, combined with the KPD assuming a more Luxembourgist stance, results in the Popular Front eeking out a thing majority in the Reichstag, and results in either Otto Wels of the SPD or Ernst Thälmann of the KPD assuming the office of Reichkanzler.
What difference wout this make for the world afterwards? Let's assume that events like the Reichstag fire and the death of President Hindenburg all happen just as they did OTL.
