<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1614751, member: 39&quot;]Hindenburg was president of a formally democratic republic, a political system that he disliked. The last few chancellors he appointed before Hitler governed mostly based on &quot;emergency decrees&quot;, ie. the parliamentary consent or approval was not really necessary in many cases. Problem was that these governments did not have long lives, and they had frequent elections.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hindenburg may have disliked Hitler because of the personal background (not a &quot;von&quot;, not a general or anything like that) but he and his entourage surely considered Hitler to be a politician who would bring &quot;stability&quot; to the country, even if that involved a kind of permanent emergency decree ...&nbsp; Not sure what any of this could have to do with &quot;re-writing history&quot; though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
