1932 - In a depressed state

In '32 German democracy
Fell, a victim of the Great Depression
Unelected Chancellors by decree
And by degrees, thanks to old President
Hindenburg, called quite a few elections
But the voters sadly voted Nazi
In increasing numbers. Coalitions
Being what they are, just wouldn't hold, and the
Reichstag being dissolved repeatedly
Hermann Goering as Senate chairman- he
Supported Hitler's tough machinations
The President and Chancellors thought they
Could outmanoevre Adolf. Unhappily
They were wrong, and he'd be Chancellor soon
