Despite the Nazi Party's poor overall result in 1928, their electability was actually increasing with the stirring of the Great Depression - in some rural areas, the first to be hit by the depression, the NSDAP polled over 10% of the vote^[5], a trend which would continue until Hitler's consolidation of power in the early to mid 1930s.
