Not disputing that. It's just important to know the historical context and not give the wrong impression when saying "he was democratically elected". He was, in the sense that in representative democracy a vote for a party often in fact is a vote for a particular politician. But he was not in the sense of a direct, personal democratic election.
It's also important to be aware that Hitler, at the point he became chancellor, had already served a prison sentence for high treason for trying to abolish parliamentary republic in the Munich putsch. Those were highly unusual and tumultuous times, after all.
