I have no idea of the context, but just noting that hitler won the election too.
no idea
Hitler ran for the presidency in 1932 and was defeated by the incumbent Paul von Hindenburg, but achieved a strong showing of second place in both rounds. In July 1932, the Nazis became the largest party in the Reichstag, albeit short of an absolute majority. Traditionally, the leader of the party who held the most seats in the Reichstag was appointed Chancellor. However, President von Hindenburg was hesitant to appoint Hitler. Following several backroom negotiations—which included industrialists, Hindenburg's son Oskar, former chancellor Franz von Papen, and Hitler – Hindenburg acquiesced and on 30 January 1933, he formally appointed Hitler as Germany's new chancellor.
Which means he won the parliamentary elections? What’s tripping you up here?
hitler won the election
[nazi party] won the parliamentary elections
historical details don't matter, got it
I don’t think you understand the way a parliamentary democracy like the Weimar Republic, or most modern European states, operate. Normally I woud explain but since you are being a fucking asshole about it, you can enjoy Wikipedia.
