Mistakes of papen
Became chancellor through the support of general von schleicher, had no real political following, government lacked a majority in the reichstag. Von papen attempted to gain nazis support but hitler kept his political distance, hitler didn’t want to be identified with a weak gov.
Mistakes of schleicher
Offered hitler chancellor of gov. Provided that schleicher was in charge of defence but hitler refused. Papen wanted revenge against schleicher so he plotted with hitler to over throw him, Hindenburg was already frustrated with schleicher so when the new government was proposed it didn’t take much convincing
