Mid Century: 1933-1970: From The German Civil War to the Eastern War

The Downfall of the Weimar Republic and the German Civil War
January, 1933:

Negotiations to create a new parlimentary cabinet in the Weimar Republic break down. Adolf Hitler, leader of the NSDAP, the Nazi movement, demands to be appointed chancellor. He is deceived in repeated negotiations with Franz Von Paper, who is playing diferent sides in an attempt to retain power for himself. As the Kurt Von Schleicher cabinet begins to disentegrate, the political and social chaos in Germany grows. Street violence reaches a frenzied pitch as both the Nazi and Communist parties battle each other while terrorizing the general populace. Hitler and the Nazis feel that their moment to seize power is slipping away from them, given the result of the recent November elections, and they become increasingly desperate and bold. All this comes to a head at the end of the month when Hitler meets with President Von Hindenburg. He goes in expecting to be named chancellor; however, once again, only the position of Vice-Chancellor is offered. Hitler leaves the meeting in a rage, and he begins to make plans for alternative routes to power.
