1933 was the year that Hitler and the Nazi party came to power. The initial basis for this was a national election in which the Nazis secured a substantial fraction of the vote. (Immediately after the election, the Nazis burned the Reichtag (the German parliament) and started repressing their political opposition though a campaign of imprisonment and murder.)
