Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg (About this soundlisten), known simply as Paul von Hindenburg (German: [ˈpaʊl fɔn ˈhɪndn̩bʊɐ̯k] (About this soundlisten); 2 October 1847 – 2 August 1934), was a German general and statesman who commanded the Imperial German Army during World War I and later became President of Germany from 1925 until his death, during the Weimar Republic. He played a key role in the Machtergreifung in January 1933 when, under pressure from advisers, he appointed Adolf Chancellor of Germany. Born to a family of minor Prussian nobility, Hindenburg joined the Prussian army in 1866 where he saw combat during the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars. He retired with the rank of General of the Infantry in 1911, but was recalled to military service at the age of 66 following the outbreak of World War I in July 1914 and shortly thereafter received nationwide attention as the victor of the Battle of Tannenberg and promotion to Field Marshal. Upon later being named Chief of the General Staff in 1916,[1] his popularity among the German public dramatically increased and produced a large cult of personality. Taking advantage of Wilhelm II's broad delegation of authority to the Army High Command, Hindenburg and his deputy, General Erich Ludendorff, established a de facto military dictatorship that controlled Germany for the rest of the war.
