Secret Hitler. It's a remake of The Resistance.

Here's the overview:

Welcome to pre-WWII Germany. In Secret Hitler, players German
politicians attempting to hold a fragile Liberal government
together and stem the rising tide of fascism. Watch out though -
there are secret fascists among you, and someone is Secret
Hitler.

OVERVIEW
At the beginning of the game, each player is secretly assigned to
one of three roles: Liberal, Fascist, or Hitler. Hitler plays for
the fascist team, and the fascists know who Hitler is, but most
of the time Hitler does not know who his fellow fascists are. The
Liberals don’t know who anyone is.
The liberals win by enacting five liberal policies or killing
Hitler. The fascists win by enacting six fascist policies, or if
Hitler is elected chancellor late in the game.
As Fascist policies are enacted, the government becomes more
powerful and the President gains new powers. Even liberal players
may find themselves tempted to enact fascist policies that help
them control the table and assassinate their enemies.

What if the fascists are upset when their candidate didn't win the Chancellor job already, and are sending their brownshirts out to try and take over by burning things and beating up other citizens?

Yeah. Can I torch the Reichstag when the commies rig the elections?

The commies should torch it for you. Nazis didn't need to do that.

[TheReal_ND]

I like how the board game is centered around fascists and """liberals"""

[Speaker to Animals]

They probably make the marxists seem like peaceful people who didn't have it coming.

I never got around to getting the resistance. Anyone played it?

Actually the "Liberal" Parties and the Socialists were marginalized by the Nazis and the Communists Parties. They actually worked together to destroy the Socialist Party. Tactics including riots, arson, beatings, and the occasional murder. In Berlin, there were large scale riots, or maybe better described as battles between the SA (Nazis Brownshirts/Street Thugs) and what ever the Communists equivalents were with the goal of destabilizing the national government.

Hitler sweet talked the conservative leadership of Big Business and Finance, along with the army's tacit support, to support him being Chancellor. He promised to be a good boy, and rein in the SA while they thought they could control him.

Well, Hitler did murder almost the entire SA leadership (without the bother of trials often) and sent the leadership and much of the members of both the Socialist and Communist Parties.

Of course, he kept on going with the murdering.

At one point, Herman Goering allied with the Communists to give Franz von Papen a vote of no confidence.
