so now I've looked the success of Hitler and the Nazi party's in the year of 1932 what were the things that were holding them back or opposing them during this period of time so we only look specifically at other parties okay and then we gonna have a look at the end of 1932 in the elections that happen there okay so the first we can have a look at just other parties in general so in 1932 which was the year where both Hitler ran for president and also the Nazi Party gained 37 percent of the Reichstag in that year the DDP and DVP collapsed okay so these were more centrist parties so the more centrist rest's parties however there were still a number of other parties to vote for most Germans did not actually vote for the Nazis don't forget in 1932 they only got 37% of the vote this was a huge increase from before the Wall Street Crash where they only had like two point one percent of the vote however this is still not the majority the centre party still retained the Catholic support so in the last video we looked at why who voted for the Nazis and we concluded that most of the Matz's most Nazis most voters sorry so are we word it most Protestants voted Nazi okay now this wasn't any other reason there's no other reason why this is the case other than the fact that the majority of Catholic support remained in the centre party and so therefore there were less Catholics voting for the Nazis so there had to be more prospects so this is why we see a larger Protestant vote further than that says rather than Catholics at the KPD we've already said it was increasing support don't forget in 1932 in 1932 the KPD had 360,000 members okay and the SPD retained support for the working class okay so there was still support from the working classes for the SPD so it was these two parties that really had the most support and were the biggest challenge to Hitler's power so the combined strength of the SPD and KPD had enough to challenge the NSDAP okay and these were both left-wing parties he was were both left-leaning and least anyway so left-leaning parties so he SP d wasn't definitely left-leaning and the KPD was far left okay so together if they cooperated they would have been able to challenge and overrun the NSDAP and probably they could have stopped the nazis from coming into power however hindsight is 20/20 so why did they fail to do this well the two parties hated each other for a start despite them both being relatively socialist so the SPD SPD was relatively socialists relatively socialists and then the KPD would I would argue is definitely socialist definitely socialist so they both had socialist ideals and actually meant their socialist ideals unlike the NSDAP okay so they just they still disagree with each other and they still effectively hates each other the KPD opposed cooperation with the SPD the KPD don't forget the idea of communism the I one of the principles are around the idea of communism is that the workers will revolt against the state the workers workers will revolt against the state okay and okay so this will for a communist party they want revolution they want revolution okay and this is almost where if you if you stood at any Russian history this is where we see a split between the Bolshevik Party and the Mensheviks okay where Lenin and Mort of actually disagreed with each other because the Mensheviks didn't really believe that revolution was the way forward whereas Lenin saw it as effectively inevitable so this is where this is where we see a difference in opinion in terms of the KPD in SPD the KPD would not would be opposed to the SPD because the KPD wants to see the end of Amar germany and a communist state be instigated the SPD didn't really have any wish to cooperate with the KTV KPD either however they were more likely to agree to it SPD more likely to agree more likely to agree okay so what happened in november 1932 September November 1932 okay so we have in September von papen are called for new elections after a no confidence vote in the Reichstag okay so we can see now that elections were happening almost biannually okay so elections elections will just say were becoming more frequent were becoming more frequent and we see this as there were elections earlier November 1913 sorry in there I'm in 1932 and then in November 1932 we see other elections take place these elections were a major blow for Hitler and the NASD aap so they only got 33% of the vote so they had lost 4% of the vote so there as a loss of 4 percent of the vote okay and in a proportional system in a proportional representation system this is quite significant in fact especially in one year as well and this was only 196 es so there was still very uh there was still a very large party however they had decreased in size and popularity so while still being a large party being a large party there was a the decrease was significant the decrease was significant okay so here we see the sort of it was really a not really a major turning point for the elections and the fall of Lima of the Weimar Republic it was just seen as I saw the back step for the Anansie party when they took a loss like this and other than that we still have the problems that Hitler faced were slowly becoming solvable problems since these two parties refused to work with each other and refused to unite and try and form a government to fight against the Nazi Party they became obsessed with their own petty squabbles and the Nazis were able to just still take over and eventually it became a race between the NSDAP the NSDAP the SPD and the KPD okay all of these three parties these became the main ones the center party began to collapse and then these began to collapse afterwards so this is really the state of Germany in 1932 we had success at the start for the Nazi Party and then we see a decline in success at the end of the year
