    Hitler got nearly 80% of votes in fair elections back then…

    No, he didn’t. His party did

      Semantics.

      The NSDAP relied on the appeal of Adolf Hitler and advertised with the effective slogan “Work and bread”. It announced an immediate economic program and job creation measures. The SPD demanded a fundamental restructuring of the economy through nationalization and neglected the demand for job creation.

      Hitler was the face of the NSDAP, most Voters believed him and specifically voted for the NSDAP.
