Document Summary
Nov 14 2007 social democrats key to the weimar republic. Centre party the catholic party (one of a few) party that german catholics rallied to. Impossible to not relate nazi"s to the great depression. Left communists, right the nazi"s. Communist party maintained fairly consistent support all the way through. By 1933 (the election) the communists were limited in their engagement of activities. Vote declined from 1933, compare to 1932. Most dramatic was the increase in the nazi vote. The depression as a period which was critical for the nazi"s they were never supported by the majority of the german pop the most they ever got was 40 percent. The nazi"s drew largely on new or uncommitted voters. Nazi"s tended to absorb a large number of smaller parties. Important that we try to understand what the appeal of the national socialists was at this time, without taking into account what we know about them later.
