BUFA saw its ambitious plans jeopardized for a centralized film industry under military-state control, and the arch conservatives grouped around Hugenberg feared (a bit absurdly, yet documented in files) that the Social Democratic influence would grow stronger as a result of collaborations with the military department.
Hugenberg held less than half of all shares, but, according to an internal report by Scherl GmbH, the holdings were "distributed in such a way that we will definitely achieve a majority in any voting, which shows that economic control of the company rests entirely in the hands of our group."
This was made evident by the new appointments to Ufa’s management: Hugenberg himself become chairman of the supervisory board, the banker Emil Georg Stauß his deputy.

For Hearst or Northcliffe, whose influence, not to mention their papers’ economic success, was based on their claim to being politically independent, their striving for political office placed this success at risk and, in turn, threatened the basis of their potential political influence.
Alfred Hugenberg too, who had established his newspaper empire specifically for party political purposes, failed in the end to transform his journalistic influence into political power.
On the other hand, the examples used show that it was obviously easier to apply journalistic influence against existing governments that to use that influence – at least as long as freedom of the press ruled – to exploit it as a basis of political execution of power.

 Adolf Hitler
The subsidies he received from the industrialists placed his party on a secure financial footing and enabled him to make effective his emotional appeal to the lower middle class and the unemployed, based on the proclamation of his faith that Germany would awaken from its sufferings to reassert its natural greatness.
Mass agitation and unremitting propaganda, set against the failure of the government to achieve any success in internal or external affairs, produced a steadily mounting electoral strength for the Nazis, who became the second largest party in the country, with more than 6,000,000 votes at the 1930 election.
In January 1933 he reaped his reward when Hindenburg invited him to be chancellor of Germany, and he took office with the support of Papen and Hugenberg and with Field Marshal Werner von Blomberg as minister of defense.

President Hindenburg of the Weimar Republic appointed Alfred P. Hugenberg of the German Nationalist Party as Chancellor.
With Wehrmacht troops still in effective control of the country under the emergency decrees of the previous April, the President expects the industrialist-politician to serve essentially as a front man for the military, an arrangement the increasingly senile Hindenburg finds appealing.
He has underestimated Hugenberg, who has spent the time since the April crisis cementing his ties to important military officers and his peers in the business community, while maneuvering to seize control of the weakened National Socialists.

 INEX: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (German National People's Party)
When Alfred Hugenberg became chairman in 1928, the DNVP returned a course of fundamental opposition against the Republic, but toned down or abandoned its previous monarchism in favour of more hardline nationalism and co-operation with the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP).
Performing badly in subsequent elections, the party ended up as junior coalition partners to the NSDAP on Adolf Hitler 's appointment as Chancellor in 1933, supporting the Enabling Act that effectively abolished the Weimar Republic.
Hitler's patience with his conservative allies was limited, and the DNVP representatives in his first Cabinet were quickly excluded from power or (as Hugenberg) bullied into resignation.
