| Reichstag elections. Emergence of Hitler's National Socialists as a major party (107 seats as against their previous 12). The Communists returned 77 candidates. The Socialists retained 143 seats, but all the moderate parties lost heavily. This was probably a reflection of the world economic situation and the cessation of loans by the United States. The election ushered in a period of disorder, with numerous clashes between National Socialist (Nazi) and Communist bands. | 2 |
