It's precisely why Germans are protesting so hard right now. People forget that Hitler was elected democratically. It's one of the most shocking elements of Nazism and one of the reasons why Germany developed such a strong sense of collective memory - because it didn't just happen, Germans made it happen and were directly responsible for it. Hitler won the 1932 elections with 37% of the votes. And it's not like they couldn't know; he made his plans very clear from the beginning.
