The 1933 elections were unfree, and within the two election 1932 they dropped from 37.4 to 33.1. Still not enough votes to pass the enabling act so they arrested SPD+KPD politicians and then used a simple majority to change the quorum rules such that the absent votes would not count against them.
It's fascinating how much legal theatre they did to give a legalistic paint job to their power grab. Completely different to Trump, more like corporate lawyers.
