July 1932 German federal election

Rare card · No. 43786

Federal elections were held in Germany on 31 July 1932, following the premature dissolution of the Reichstag. The Nazi Party made large gains and became the largest party in the Reichstag for the first time. The Nazi Party and the Communist Party held more than half of the seats in the Reichstag, meaning no majority coalition government could be formed without including at least one of these two parties.
