...Hindenburg enjoyed a long if undistinguished career in the Prussian Army, eventually retiring in 1911. He was recalled at the outbreak of World War I, and first came to national attention, at the age of 66, as the victor at Tannenberg in 1914. As Germany's Chief of the General Staff from 1916, he and his deputy, Erich Ludendorff, rose in the German public's esteem until Hindenburg came to eclipse the Kaiser himself. Hindenburg retired again in 1919, but returned to public life one more time in 1925 to be elected as the second President of Germany. Read full entry

why did Paul von Hindenburg I know he wasn't going to run
for it in the first place
because of old age (He
would've been 92 by the time
his 7 year term ended). I just
can't grasp why he changed his
mind and decided to run again.
Thanks in advance

Hindenburg was persuaded to run for re-election in 1932 as he was considered the only candidate who could defeat Adolf Hitler. Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff. However he played an important role in the Nazi Party's rise to power, dissolving parliament twice in 1932 and eventually appointing Hitler as Chancellor in January 1933. In February, he issued the Reichstag Fire Decree which suspended various civil liberties, and in March he signed the Enabling Act, in which parliament gave Hitler's administration legislative powers. Hindenburg died the following year, after which Hitler declared the office of President vacant and, as "Führer und Reichskanzler", made himself head of state. In fact, Hitler always felt he could control Hindenberg, and he basically did. |

Hindenburg was a total mental train wreck when he named Hitler chancellor, and all it did was propel the Nazis to power enough to change the laws, consolidate that power even more, and then accumulate even more power. The effect was the annexation of the Sudetanland, invasion of Poland and then eventually Russia to the East and Western Europe to the West. A two front war. The problem is, Russia was too big for Napoleon and it was definitely too big for Hitler. |

Deutches Reich is German Empire, and Paul von Hindenberg had been President before his death in 1934, after a distinguished military and political career. I suspect you have a coin worth five marks face value. Geht vor is goes for. I don't have enough German to tell you the rest, but gemein has the meaning of common or general, and eigen the sense of specific. |
