Catalogue question 152 · Question catalogue in force since 2024-07-01

When were the National Socialists under Adolf Hitler in power in Germany?

Why — for every option

  1. A — 1918 to 1923 was the early Weimar Republic; the Nazi party existed but was not in power.
  2. B — 1932 to 1950 is incorrectly dated — Hitler's seizure of power was in 1933, and the Nazi regime ended in 1945.
  3. C — Correct: Hitler became Reich Chancellor on 30 January 1933; the Nazi regime ended with the surrender on 8 May 1945.
  4. D — 1945 to 1989 describes the post-war period and the division of Germany, not Nazi rule.
