may 12, 1925 - von Hindenburg as president

Description:

In February 1925 Ebert died,
in April Paul von Hindenburg, a famous WW1 general and ultra-conservative not very commited to democracy, is elected president

this appeased some nationalists calming them down,
and Hindenburg initially didn't do anything undemocratic

but u know,
it's was a little awkward that an authoritarian nationalist was head of state of a democratic country

vin Hindenburg was 78 years old when elected president
