Germany had three successive chancellors in 1932. First Heinrich Bruening, who stepped down on May 29th, then Franz von Papen and finall Kurt von Schleicher who was made chancellor by president Hindenburg on December 3rd.
In a word, it didn't!Hitler and the National Socialists came to power in 1933 by emerging from the November 1932 Reichstags elections as the largest party (33.1%*), followed by the Social Democrats (SPD, 20.4%), Communists (16.9%), Centre Party (11.9%), and the German National People's Party (DNVP, 8.3%).Following the election, conservative politicians von Papen (Centre Party) and von Schleicher (independent, incumbent Chancellor at the time) began attempts to form a government. Von Schleicher approached Gregor Strasser, a high-ranking National Socialist, who was considered more moderate than Hitler, in an attempt to win his support and split the NSDAP. Von Papen, meanwhile, approached Hitler.Von Papen (and the conservatives and businessmen around him) naively thought that Hitler, despite having preached a revolutionary, socialist, anti-capitalist platform for many years, would be the easy to control (von Papen: "In two months we'll have driven Hitler so far into a corner that he'll squeak"), and so offered him the chancellorship and two cabinet posts.Von Papen and his entourage then went to persuade the German President, Paul von Hindenburg (who detested Hitler and referred to him disparagingly as "der böhmische Gefreiter" - the bohemian corporal) to give him the Chancellorship.*It is worthy of note that this represented a drop of 4.2% compared to the Reichstags election of July 1932. Many historians and contemporary witnesses believe that the National Socialists had actually exceeded their "sell-by date" and were beginning to slip back (the "revolutionary" aspect and protest vote beginning to wear out with the electorate) when von Papen offered Hitler the Chancellorship
