Detailed explanation-1: -Personally opposed to Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party, Hindenburg nonetheless played a major role in the political instability that resulted in their rise to power.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hindenburg oversaw the mobilisation of the whole German state for war, and became immensely popular throughout the country. Kaiser Wilhelm II was sidelined. After Germany’s defeat in 1918 Hindenburg retired, but in 1925, largely because of his status as a war hero, he was elected president of Germany.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in January 1933 because in the election of November 1932 they won 196 seats, which was more than any other party. As a result of this, the Chancellor, von Papen could no longer command a majority in the Reichstag.
