How did Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party come to power? Many people have asked that question. It was on the 30th January 1933; while God and his angels, and all the saints in Christendom slept, that democracy in Germany came to an end. President Paul von Hindenburg, who had previously vowed that he would never allow Adolf Hitler to become Chancellor, elevated him to the post of ‘Reichschancellor’ of Germany. It was on that day that the death rattle sounded in the throat of the Weimar Republic, its last dying breath was choked off; and, as it died: so did German democracy. Franz von Papen, the man who was confident that he could control Hitler, agreed to serve in the position of Hitler's Vice-Chancellor, He was wrong, he underestimated Hitler, and for the next twelve years the political fate of Germany and its entire population, was to be in the hands of a criminal lunatic and his band of murderous cohorts. After a gestation period of over thirteen years, this was ‘Genesis’, the birth of the ‘Third Reich’.
