  Paul von Hindenburg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hindenburg was born in what was then Posen (now Poznań) on Podgorna street (Podgorna street in Poznan, Poland), located in the Kingdom of Prussia, as the son of the Prussian aristocrat Robert von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg and his wife Luise (born Schwickart).
Hindenburg was victorious in the Battle of Tannenberg (1914) and the 1914 Battle of the Masurian Lakes against the Russian army.
Hindenburg who was a firm monarchist throughout his life, always regarded this episode of his life with considerable embarrassment, and almost from the moment the Kaiser abdicated, Hindenburg insisted that he played no role in the abdication and assigned all of the blame to Groener.

Von Schleicher stayed on, although he and his new commander held opposing views on the role of the army in the times of crisis.
Whereas Groener and von Schleicher were prepared to intervene to bolster the government, von Seekt showed, in the Kapp putsch of March 1920, that in instances involving attacks by the rightwing he was not prepared to be involved.
While initially von Schleicher seemed to support the Weimar republican governments, the economic and political difficulties of the Depression forced him to move to a position where he was responsible for engineering a series of governments with strong central powers based on rule by presidential decree.

 Weimar, 1929 - 1933
Kurt von Schleicher was born on 7th April 1882 in Brandenburg, the son of an old local family.
Originally, von Schleicher believed that Brüning was a good choice for Chancellor, but during 1931 von Schleicher changed his opinion, as it became clear that Brüning was unable to rally moderate support behind the 'presidential system', and probably because he was having to rely, to some extent, on socialist support.
Hindenburg was already beginning to lose faith with Brüning by the end of 1931, then, in the presidential election of 1932, Brüning was unable to gain the support of the Nationalists for the 84-year-old war hero President.

VON PAPEN: Herr Von Neurath had exactly the same opinion as I had, that this agreement was to serve and had to serve the cause, once and for all, of peace between these two peoples of the same race.
VON PAPEN: I was of the opinion that a man who in March 1932, before I was in the Government, had 36.8 percent of all German votes in the presidential election, that that man and his party had to be included in responsible government work.
VON PAPEN: No, that cannot be right, for according to the evidence of historical documents Hitler had a talk with Von Hindenburg on 13 August, and Hindenburg explained to him the reasons why he did not agree to Hitler's Chancellorship.

Von Schleicher was no economist, but he understood precisely what the core problem was: overcoming the economic depression by rapidly reducing the mass army of desperate unemployed.
At the time, there was a saying that Oskar von Hindenburg was ``the son of the Reich President, not foreseen by the authors of the Constitution.'' That is why Brüning, at a moment of the worst financial crisis in July 1931, had refused the Warburg credit for Danat Bank.

On January 22, Hitler's efforts to persuade Oskar von Hindenburg (the President's son) included threats to bring criminal charges over estate taxation irregularities at the President's Neudeck estate (although 5000 extra acres were soon alloted to Hindenburg's property).
Hindenburg, despite his misgivings about the Nazis' goals and about Hitler as a person, reluctantly agreed to Papen's theory that, with Nazi popular support on the wane, Hitler could now be controlled as chancellor.
As regards the Rhenish-Westphalian Industrial Magnates and Franz von Papen, the Nuremburg Trials studied the era from January 30 1933, and came to the conclusion that it would not be an indictable offence to have assisted Adolf Hitler and the NSDAP to power.

As far as fairness is concerned, I want your Lordship to understand that certainly none of my staff thought for a moment that the defence understood we were not going to use it, because we always intended to use it.
I think you said, defendant, you had two meetings with President von Hindenburg and then, I think, after 18th January you had meetings with Hitler, and after 22nd January, you had meetings with the defendant Goering, as he said in his evidence, is that not so?

I draw attention, however, to the fact that the state police offices in the Reich, which are not concerned, are so understaffed that further forces cannot be taken from them.
The following are to be detained at once as liaison officers: criminal Councilor Schiffer, regional Gestapo headquarters Stettin, to Brigadier General von Hindenburg* in Koenigsberg, Prussia, and criminal Commissar Raschwitz, with the commander of the Security Police and of the SD in Krakow, to Major General Herrgott in Kielce.
The duty of those liaison officers is to coordinate from time to time, and especially in the initial stages of the action, the operations of the Kommandos uniformly and in accordance with those directives, and to see that there are smooth communications with the offices of the armed forces.

On Dec. 21, 1932, the U.S. Ambassador in Berlin, Frederic Sackett, met with Gen. Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord, the chief of the Reichswehr army command.
Sackett betrayed his new-found admiration for the general when he pointed out that the calm was made possible by `the tact and skill with which Chancellor von Schleicher dealt with the situation, in striking contrast to the provocative methods of his predecessor [von Papen].' "[11]

 The Bloody End   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Von Papen had been placed in this position close to Adolf Hitler by Oskar von Hindenburg on January 30, 1933, to keep an eye on the Führer, and after three months he was already hardly more than a vaguely recognized supernumerary in the chancellery.
He had landed at Tempelhof without a hat, “his face as white as chalk, fatigued by a night without sleep, unshaven, offering his hand in silence to those who were waiting for him.” Göring presented him with a list; at Berlin, too, the repression had been swift and severe, harsher than at Munich.
Edgard Jung, Papen’s chief writer, the one who had drafted his tirade of June 17 for him word for word, would be mowed down just like the two others.
