AB  - No agreement yet exists among social scientists as to sources of 
naziism's sudden electoral surge in 1930 and 1932. One widely held 
view, stressing the importance of the "outcast and apathetic," has 
been sharply challenged by S. M. Lipset, who argues that electoral 
support for Hitler was essentially a middle-class phenomenon. But on 
the basis of a new analysis of the voting returns, I conclude that a 
combination of former non-voters and traditional Rightists gave 
naziism its first great success, and the bulk of the middle-class 
vote went to Hitler only after the Nazis had established themselves 
as the largest non-Marxist party in Germany.
