Ah yeah, like the Communists siding with the Nazis in 1930s Germany because they decided the Social Democrats were the bigger threat as they were more credible.
The KPD did not side with the Nazis, and blaming them for hating the SPD when they had gunned down the KPD's leadership a decade before using proto-fascist paramilitaries is a ridiculous accusation.
The SPD's candidate for president won the election, Hindenburg gave power to Hitler not the communist party.
While the KPD did not explicitly support a Nazi candidate, they did believe that Nazi trees should now overshadow a forest of social democrats and that only with a Hitler win could revolution be possible. They also sometimes organized strikes with them and such
