German Elections Show Nazi Gain but No Clear Majority
In Germany the Nazi party roughly doubled seats to 229 in the Reichstag but still lacked a majority. Von Papen's cabinet, backed by the Junkers, remains in power, while Nazi teachers push for one of their own as chancellor and another as interior minister amid a shifting political landscape. The Communists gain to 84 seats as other parties lose ground and the Reichstag’s end-August session looms.
