Abstract

Paul von Hindenburg shot to fame after the Battle of Tannenberg in August 1914. He was Germany’s national hero of wartime, soon eclipsing the Kaiser. Appointed to the Supreme Command in 1916, he increasingly took on a political role. His myth survived the military collapse of 1918. Hindenburg served as president of the Weimar Republic from 1925 onwards and appointed Hitler as chancellor in 1933.
