he was Austrian as well. I still don't understand to these days how he could have become German chancellor in the first place.

5. I don't get it either, unless it was not a constitutional issue.... |
|
...plus he served in the German army in WWI, which he never stopped reminding people of. Nothing like bashing people with nationalism...

7. He used a trick to gain citizenship in 32 |
|
He gained a minor office in the (no longer existing) state of Brunswick, which came with citizenship (then, as today, citizenship was given by the states).
As to serving the German army: there was no "German" Army in WW1; Hitler joined the Bavarian army.
