   In the elections to the Reichstag held in July 1932, the
   National Socialists polled 13.7 million votes and won 230
   of the total of 670 seats. Now the strongest party, although
   still lacking a majority, they were offered places in a
   coalition government by President Hindenburg. Hitler refused
   and demanded sole power. The Reichstag was dissolved, and in
   the elections for its successor, held in November, the party
   vote declined to approximately 11.7 million and the party won
   only 196 seats. The combined Social Democratic and Communist
   vote was more than 13 million, and together the Social Democrats
   and Communists won 221 seats; but as these parties were bitter
   opponents, the Nazis, despite their setback, were still the
   strongest party in the Reichstag. Again Hitler refused to
   participate in a coalition government, and again the Reichstag
   was dissolved. On the advice of former chancellor Franz von
   Papen, Hindenburg appointed Hitler chancellor on January 30,
   1933.

You really are an ignorant person.

You are obviously a very ignorant person as you have do not have the
least grasp why citing an encyclopedia might *not* be the logical
fallacy of an "appeal to authority." Can you think why?

Follow-ups set.
