Best Answer

The voting system of proportinal representation used by the Weimar Republic meant that the number of seats changed with each new election.

Following the Reichstag elections on 20 May, 1928 there were 491 seats in the Reichstag, divided between the parties as follows:

Communists: 54

Social Democrats: 153

Party of the Centre: 62

Bavarian People's Party: 16

German Democratic Party: 25

German People's Party: 45

German National people's Party: 73

Nazis: 12

Others: 51

In the previous election, held on 7 December 1924, 493 seats were allocated and in the following election, held on 14 September 1930, 577 seats were allocated

From 1920 to 1938 (the last Reichstag election) the Nazi party received the following number of seats:

6 June, 1920 - 0

4 May 1924 - 32 (6.6%) (masquerading as the National Socialist Freedom Party, NSFP, due to the Nazi party being banned following Hitler's ill-fated putsch)

7 December 1924 - 14 (3%) (masquerading as the National Socialist Freedom Party, NSFP, due to the Nazi party being banned following Hitler's ill-fated putsch)

The NSFP was disbanded and re-absorbed into the Nazi party in 1925 following the ending of the ban on 27 January 1925.

20 May 1928 - 12 (2.6%)

14 September 1930 - 107 (18.3%)

31 July 1932 - 230 (37.4%)

6 November 1932 - 196 (33.1%)

5 March 1933 - 288 (43.9%)

The Reichstag election on 5 March 1933 was no longer a free election as many of the political opponents of the Nazis had been incarcerated or forced to flee the country and the election campaign was marred with violence instigated by Hitler's SA.

On June 22, 1933 the SPD (Social Democratic Party of Germany) was ruled as a "subversive and anti-German " party and banned. In light of this ruling all other parties chose to disband voluntarily rather than suffer the fate of the SPD. On July 14, 1933, with no effective political opposition to stop him, Hitler passed das Gesetz gegen die Neubildung von Parteien (Act prohibiting the Formation of New Parties), effectively making Germany a one-party state.

In the following Reichstag elections to take place during the Nazi tyranny, the Nazis achieved 92.2% (November 12, 1933) and 99% (29 March 1936 and 10 April 1938)
