    ORIGINAL and IMPORTANT HISTORIC
    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
    and Chancellor).
