> They were majority in the Reichstag

No, they weren't, they formed a coalition government with another far right party and still that was a minority coalition that was put into place by the (elected with a majority) President (who was not a Nazi) because there was no majority coalition formed.

Even in the first (and only multiparty) election after the Hitler-led minority coalition was installed, (which was very much not a free and fair election) the Nazis themselves still didn't win a majority, though the Nazi/DVNP coalition did secure a majority.

The Nazis did get an “elected” majority in the 1936 election, where only Nazi party members and Nazi-invited guests (one per seat) were on the ballot, in a single “approve/reject” slate in each constituency, but...

> Hilter wasn't even elected he was appointed by the Nazi Party.

This is true in the same sense that it is true that the PM of the UK is appointed by their party, not elected. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi Party, he and his coalition government were appointed by the President (who wasn't part of the Nazi Party)
