 | | The famed zeppelin that was destroyed in the Hindenburg disaster in 1937 had been named in his honour, as has the causeway joining the island of Sylt to mainland Schleswig-Holstein, the Hindenburgdamm, built during his time in office. |
 | | The field marshal credited an unnamed British general for first uttering the phrase, and the term was adopted by nationalist and conservative politicians (including Adolf Hitler) who sought to blame the socialist founders of the Weimar Republic for the loss of the war. |
 | | At the opening of the new Reichstag on 21 March 1933, at the Kroll Opera House, the Nazis staged an elaborate ceremony, in which Hindenburg played the leading part, that was meant to mark the continuity between the Prussian-German tradition and the new Nazi state. |
