Hitler versus Hindenburg provides the first in-depth study of the
titanic struggle between the two most dominant figures on the
German Right in the last year before the establishment of the Third
Reich. Although Hindenburg was reelected as Reich president by a
comfortable margin, his authority was severely weakened by the fact
that the vast majority of those who had supported his candidacy
seven years earlier had switched their support to Hitler in 1932.
What the two candidates shared in common, however, was that they
both relied upon charisma to legitimate their claim to the
leadership of the German nation. The increasing reliance upon
charisma in the 1932 presidential elections greatly accelerated the
delegitimation of the Weimar Republic and set the stage for
Hitler's appointment as chancellor nine months later.
