Historical national results use the source’s consistent party allocation, including separately tabulated Bavarian and regional lists; these can differ from tables that assign joint lists to the larger partner. Farmers, middle-class, other right-wing and minority groups remain aggregated as published. Voting took place under Nazi terror, political repression and restrictions on opposition campaigning; this was not a free and fair election.
Election legitimacy
Uncompetitive / restrictedThe Nazi government used terror and suppressed opposition campaigning. The presence of several parties on the ballot did not make this a free election.
