German referendum, 1934
A referendum on merging the posts of Chancellor and President was held in Germany on 19 August 1934,〔Nohlen, D & Stöver, P. (2010), ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p. 762, ISBN 978-3-8329-5609-7.〕 after the death of President Paul von Hindenburg seventeen days earlier. The German leadership sought to gain approval for Adolf Hitler's assumption of supreme power. The overwhelmingly positive result of this referendum allowed Hitler to claim public support for his activities as the Führer and ''de facto'' Head of State of Germany. In fact, he had assumed these offices and powers immediately upon von Hindenburg's death and used the referendum to legitimize this move, taking the title ''Führer und Reichskanzler'' (Führer and Chancellor).
Support for merging the offices of president and chancellor was greatest in East Prussia, where 96% voted in favour. It was weakest in Hamburg, where just under 80% voted affirmatively. This regional variation was identical to that in the referendum of 1933. The relative lack of support in Hamburg in 1933 prompted Hitler to declare a national holiday on 17 August 1934 so that he could address the German people directly over the 4.3 million registered radio sets.〔Arnold J. Zurcher, "The Hitler Referenda" (1935), ''The American Political Science Review'', 29 (1): 91–99.〕 Of the democratic nature of the referendum, political scientist Arnold Zurcher writes that "there undoubtedly was a great deal" of "intangible official pressure", but "(very little ) downright coercion and intimidation at the polls".〔
