Is this true?

In 1933 Hitler was appointed chancellor in an attempt by the bourgeois leadership of the Weimar Republic to "calm" his radicalism, which did not work.

I am not sure that this is historically accurate. Hitler was in no way "radical" — the bourgeois leadership of the Weimar Republic, if my understanding is correct, placed Hitler to deal with the KPD threat to their power (the November Revolution), by any means necessary.

This, of course, did work; the November Revolution did not succeed. (It is debatable whether the reason this happened is Hitler's fascism or the the proletariat not being ready to take power at that time).
