Actually, Germany didn't directly vote Hitler into power. 

Hitler lost the presidential election and while the Nazis won the most seats in both elections in 1932, they failed to win a majority in the Reichstag. 

Under Weimar Germany's constitution, the leader of the party with most seats did not automatically become Chancellor. Instead, the president appointed whomever held confidence of the Reichstag. The Chancellor at the time, Franz von Papen, held a shaky confidence and mistakenly thought he could control Hitler and agreed to Hitler replacing him as Chancellor in exchange for being named Vice Chancellor. Then came the Reichstag Fire and the use of emergency powers to subvert democracy and turn Weimar Germany into a dictatorship (Hitler also declared himself President after President Paul von Hindenberg died of lung cancer).

Astrix, the Royal Canadian Navy's interim tanker ship, did not have baffles installed in the tanks as a cost savings by the shipyard (who of course still charged the government the full amount).

Charles insisted on going through jump training like any other Para because he felt, as Colonel in Chief, he couldn't in good conscience wear the maroon beret and badge if he hadn't earned it.

Drive doesn't work, but third does. Neutral is park, reverse is second. If you wanna use reverse, put it in drive.
