The Nazis killed Conservatives.
Lieutenant-Colonel Franz Joseph Hermann Michael Maria von Papen zu Köningen
He belonged to the group of close advisers to president Paul von Hindenburg in the late Weimar Republic. It was largely Papen, believing that Hitler could be controlled once he was in the government, who persuaded Hindenburg to appoint Hitler as Chancellor in a cabinet not under Nazi Party domination. However, Papen and his allies were quickly marginalised by Hitler and he left the government after the Night of the Long Knives, during which some of his confidantes were killed by the Nazis.

Nah. The conservative elite were the old ruling class and new business class in Weimar Germany. Throughout the 1920s they became increasingly frustrated with the Weimar Republic’s continuing economic and political instability, their lack of real power and the rise of communism. They believed that a return to authoritarian rule was the only stable future for Germany which would protect their power and money. The conservative elite’s second move towards authoritarian rule was helping the Nazi Party to gain power. The conservative elite and the Nazi Party had a common enemy – the political left. You are a Nazi. Face facts bud. Side: I see that

You didn't address that the Nazis killed Conservatives. You went to an unrelated point. You also didn't address that the Conservatives viewed the Nazis as Socialists and were wary of them. In his memoir, written in 1952, Franz von Papen recalls his appointment as German chancellor in mid-1932: "On 26 May 1932 I received a telephone call from General von Schleicher who asked me to come to Berlin on an argent matter… He told me it was the President’s wish to form a cabinet of experts, independent of the political parties. Bruning had insisted, so Schleicher told me. that he would never sit at the same table as the National Socialists.* https://alphahistory.com/weimarrepublic/ appointment-of-franz-von-papen-1932/ You also didn't recognize Papen quitting his position after the Night of the Long Knives. You've buried yourself even deeper in your quest to prove Hitler wasn't what he was. Banned for retreating and admitting you were wrong rather than fighting back like a man. Side: I see that twice
