I would say by a stretch. Hitler was appointed chancellor by constitutional means. He was given emergency powers by constitutional means. I would not go as far to say that the Weimar constitution had a provision for a man to establish himself as "Furher" indefinitely, without a vote, and to completely erase the prior constitution. of course i could be wrong.
there is a reason why it is called the Third Reich, and not the "tail end of Weimar"
