Although Hindenburg was now lapsing in and out of senility, he was persuaded to run for re-election in 1932, as the only candidate who could defeat Adolf Hitler.

Hindenburg played a supporting but key role in the Nazi Machtergreifung (Seizure of Power) in 1933. In the "Government of National Concentration" headed by Hitler, the Nazis were in the minority.

Most of the other ministers were hold-overs from the von Papen and Schleicher governments, and the ones who were not, such as Alfred Hugenberg of the D.N.V.P., were not Nazis. This had the effect of assuring Hindenburg that the room for radical moves on the ...
