November Criminals - Weimar politicians who signed the armistice, Hitler believed they stabbed the German people in the back by doing so.
President Hindenburg - President from 1925 - August 1934 (death), well respected WW1 general, member of Germany's powerful aristocracy (The Junkers)
1928-33 Nazi votes increased. Votes for extreme parties like the Communists and Nazis increased after 1929.
1932 Nazis had the biggest party in the Reichstag but did not have overall majority.
Hindenburg appointed his friends as chancellor using his emergency powers however neither Von Papen nor Von Schleicher were popular and could not get their policies passed by the Reichstag and so Hindenburg appointed Hitler in 1933 in the hope he would prevent the Communists from gaining power and because Hindenburg and his military friends believed that they could control Hitler.
