Franz von Papen, Hindenberg's Chancellor, saw the dip in Nazi support in the November elections and felt confident enough that the party would not take over that he suggested Hilter be appointed Chancellor, and he, von Papen, would be Vice Chancellor. This was assuming they would bully Hilter into a corner.
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Franz von Papen, Hindenburg's Chancellor, believed that the Nazi party's declining support in the November elections meant they would not be able to take over. He felt confident enough to suggest appointing Hitler as Chancellor, with himself as Vice Chancellor, with the intention of controlling and manipulating him. This suggests that the statement "Franz von Papen, Hindenberg's Chancellor, saw the dip in Nazi support in the November elections and felt confident enough that the party would not take over that he suggested Hitler be appointed Chancellor, and he, von Papen, would be Vice Chancellor" is true.

In reality, von Papen and other conservative politicians believed that they could control Hitler and use him for their own purposes. However, this strategy ultimately backfired as Hitler was able to consolidate power and establish a totalitarian regime. Von Papen's miscalculation highlights the danger of underestimating the ambitions and tactics of a charismatic and determined leader like Hitler.
