>Are you seriously the only person besides Goebbels who believes Hitler was "democratically elected by a broad majority"?

There's never been any historian who has believed that the Weimar elections in the early 1930s weren't legitimate and reflective of the national mood.

The great majority of the German nation had been both socialist and nationalist for many years. The Social Democratic trade union members sympathized as much with nationalist radicalism as did the peasants, the Catholics, and the shopkeepers. The communists owed their votes in great part to the idea that communism was the best means to establish German hegemony in Europe and defeat Western capitalism. The German entrepreneurs and businessmen contributed their share to the triumph of Nazism, but so did all other strata of the nation. Even the churches, both Catholic and Protestant, were no exception.
