HItler became head of a party in a multi party system, and was appointed Chancellor when his party gained enough strength, by President Hindenberg, who in Germany is the 'ceremonial head of sate' whereas the Chancellor is the real head of state.
He was not, unlike our presidents, elected via our system of suffrage. He was elected using a parliamentary model. The fact that it has been since modified is irrelveant.

I only know that your position is that you cannot see the forest for the trees.
I have seen, in my own experience, how our influence has influenced our allies, the so called modern Europeans, who are as hide bound and patriarcical as anyone I have met.
You base your rebuttal on . . . what? AN impression?
