Actually the turnout was the highest in that time and the conservative centrists and "progressive" centrists made sure to demobilize people and hand power to the Nazis.
You misunderstand your history. Hitler didnt win in an election to come to power, he was appointed by dem centrist Von Hindenburg, who won his presidency in 1932. So how can it be the voters fault, if they elected a centrist for president, who then appointed a chancellor, Hitler?
Von Hindenburg didnt give a single speech in the election to be president --he was too old and dotty at age 85, and his son gave the speeches. He won despite worries about his health and died in office a year later. In the end he couldnt recognize the people around him and referred to Hitler as "Your majesty", thinking he was the pre 1918 Kaiser of Germany. There had not been a "your majesty" in a long time.
So your story about the problem being that progressives and conservative centrists telling people not to vote is not even possible.
You always want to make stuff up to blame the non-centrist voters though dont you? Its never the centrists fault, always literally everyone else. Well the voters 'voted blue no matter who' back then and howd that work out for them?
