Did you study history at school?

If so, what did you learn about how Hitler came to power?
How was he democratically elected?
What signs of his intentions did he show before he was elected?

My class in high school was called Social Studies, we may have touched on Hitler. From what i've gleaned since, it was a time of turmoil, economical being a factor, resentment stemming from the outcome of the first world war, the treaty of Versailles, and stuff like that. Hitler, for all his faults was effective at speeches, slowly but surely gained a following. The final solution stuff as far as i gather wasn't unveiled explicitly till well into his rule, and being sent to camps was seen not as they really were.
