1932 GERMAN REICHSTAG ELECTION BALLOT
Uncommon 1932 Reichstag election ballot, 1p. 8vo., Upper Bavaria. The ballot lists ten different political parties vying for seats in the Reichstag, including Adolf Hitler, Chancellor Franz von Papen who was desperately seeking to reaffirm the legitimacy of his office, and various parties from the left and right. in the end, Hitler won substantial gains, and von Papen would be forced to relinquish his seat. The ballot is marked for Communist Party leader Ernst Thalmann who soon after the election would be thrown into solitary confinement for 11 years until his summary execution at Buchenwald in 1944. Fine.
