Here's another choice Thalmann quote from that election's Wikipedia: “Hitler must come to power first, then the requirements for a revolutionary crisis [will] arrive more quickly”
Unfortunately the source given doesn't provide a path all the way to a primary one, and my geography and language skills aren't conducive to searching newspaper archives for it. That gives you a sense of the philosophy of the KPD, though, at least until the last minute in the other election later that year when they woke up.
Your link reads like a giant wall of text to paper over a straightforward historical mistake.
Oh. I never thought about that before. That is a good point. I wish that I were as smart as you.
