- How did Hitler come to power ?: The Devil's Pact
E1How did Hitler come to power ?: The Devil's PactIn 1932 Germany was still a democratic constitutional state, two years later a dictatorship. The film shows how Hitler found influential helpers who brought him to power. The election success of the NSDAP in 1930 made Adolf Hitler a power factor in the right-wing camp. Democracy opponents around President Hindenburg want to use it for their own purposes. In the end there was a “devil's pact”, which paved the way for the Nazi leader to join the Reich Chancellery in 1933. The two-part documentary is based on the BBC series "Rise of the Nazis", which was extensively reworked by ZDF - for the German version. At the center of this episode is the "Devil's Pact" between the national conservative power elites and the emerging National Socialists.
