Answer
In 1933, Franz von Papen, then Vice-Chancellor of Germany, played a crucial role in persuading President Paul von Hindenburg to appoint Adolf Hitler as Chancellor. Papen believed that Hitler's appointment would strengthen the conservative elements in the government and help counter the growing influence of the Nazi Party. However, this move ultimately backfired as Hitler quickly consolidated power and established a totalitarian regime.
