Why was this allowed?

I was just thinking "now's a good time for another hitler thread"

Because he was German.

>runs for chanchellor of Germany
he ran for president. he was appointed chancellor

>born in AH from AH citizens.
He wasn't.

The Weimar Republic didn't have a natural-born-citizen clause in it's Constitution. Maybe if it had, all of this shit could've been prevented or at the very least delayed.

He became a civil servant of Brunswick and was given German citizenship as a result.

The limits of nationality are ultimately arbitrary.
German speaking austrians were considered germans and that's all there is to it.

Wow so all Americans are also English by virtue of speaking the same language?

He wanted to unite the German volk under one flag. He says this in Mein Kampf.
