Hitler wasn't really elected. His party never once had a majority vote. He got 30 ish percent iirc.

He was nominated as Chancellor as a cop out to try and appease the masses which he had stirred up.

And then used the Reichstag fire to invoke emergency powers and take full control

Yes, obviously it went quickly downhill from there (as per the plan).

It was closer to 40, but yes, he never won a majority nation-wide. Minority governments are a thing though, and he got the job democratically. It's accurate to say he was elected.
