Odolf hitler's party, the national socialist german workers party, the n s d a p, grew from two % of the vote to 18% of the vote and picking up 95 seeds. Hitler refused to enter in any talk of joining a coalition government. He was adamant all the other political parties, left and right, had failed germany.

Communists had nothing to fear from a hitler government.
