This has nothing to do with first-past-the-post voting.
The vote that you are talking about happened after the Reichstag fire and Hitler was appointed (not elected) Chancellor. Opposition parties were suppressed, and the Nazi party "monitored" the election. Thousands of opposition party members were arrested before the election. In Prussia, 50,000 Nazis were appointed as auxcillary-police to monitor the elections and to intimidate voters.
>this isn't so obviously rigged.
If you don't think the March 1933 elections were rigged you haven't read enough about them.
