No. Hindenburg's party won the far larger share of the vote in the
1932 elections: 49.6 percent and 53 percent.

Make up your mind: to quote you (see above, including typo): 
"Hilter was clearly voted into power by popular vote." 

That's false. Instead of admitting it, you wiggle into the
discredited personal attack mode. Relating an Alan Bullock quote to
revisionism is the silliest thing I have heard in a while. And since
you seem to belong to the Church of Collective Guilt, further
exchanges will be a waste of time.

evidence.
