POLITICAL FLYER FOR THE
1934 GERMAN VOTER REFERENDUM (MERGING THE OFFICE OF GERMAN CHANCELLOR with the OFFICE OF GERMAN PRESIDENT on AUGUST 19,1934)
A referendum on merging the posts of
Chancellor
and
President
was held in
Germany
on 19 August 1934
seventeen days after the death of President
Paul von Hindenburg
. The T
hird Empire
leadership of
Germany
sought to gain approval for the German Leader of the third Empires
assumption of supreme power. The referendum was associated with widespread intimidation of voters, and
German Leader of the third Empire
used the resultant large "yes" vote to claim public support for his activities as the
de facto
head of state
of Germany. In fact, he had assumed these offices and powers immediately upon Hindenburg's death and used the referendum to legitimise that move and take the title
Führer und Reichskanzler
(
Führer
