Frases de Paul von Hindenburg

Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg foi um militar alemão que comandou o Exército Imperial Alemão durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial e posteriormente serviu como Presidente da República de Weimar de 1925 até sua morte.Hindenburg é geralmente lembrado como o homem que, como Presidente alemão, nomeou o líder nazista Adolf Hitler como Chanceler da Alemanha. Hitler e Hindenburg pessoalmente se detestavam, ele se referia a Hitler como um "cabo boêmio". Hitler, de forma repetida e forçada, pressionou Hindenburg para o nomear como Chanceler, mas este, continuamente, recusou o pedido.Embora com 84 anos e a saúde precária, Hindenburg foi convencido a candidatar-se a Presidente para as eleições de 1932, pois era considerado como o único candidato que podia derrotar Adolf Hitler. Hindenburg foi reeleito na segunda volta. Embora se opusesse a Hitler, a deterioração da estabilidade política da República de Weimar permitiu-lhe ter um papel importante na ascensão ao poder do Partido Nazi. Hindenburg dissolveu o parlamento, por duas vezes, em 1932, e acabou por nomear Hitler como Chanceler da Alemanha em Janeiro de 1933. Em Fevereiro, emitiu o Decreto de Fogo do Reichstag que suspendia várias liberdades civis e, em Março, assinou a Lei de Concessão de Plenos Poderes de 1933 na qual o parlamento dava à administração de Hitler poderes legislativos. Hindenburg morreu no ano seguinte, após o qual Hitler declarou que o lugar de Presidente ficava vazio e, como "Führer und Reichskanzler", ele próprio era o Chefe de Estado.

O famoso zeppelin Hindenburg que foi destruído pelo fogo em 1937, recebeu o nome em sua homenagem, tal como o Hindenburgdamm, um causeway que liga a ilha de Sylt ao continente Schleswig-Holstein, que foi construído com ele ainda em vida. A antiga cidade de Zabrze, na Província da Alta Silésia , também foi renomeada em sua homenagem em 1915. O SMS Hindenburg, um cruzador a serviço da Marinha Imperial Alemã, em 1917, e o último navio a entrar ao serviço na Marinha Imperial, também receberam o seu nome. Em 1938 a Alemanha lança uma moeda comemorativa in memoriam a Paul von Hindenburg. Wikipedia

Paul von Hindenburg: Frases em inglês

“Prosperity can come through peace alone.”

Contexto: Prosperity can come through peace alone. The German people are in favor of all possible means to make war impossible. I have seen three wars. A man who has seen three wars never will wish another war. He must be a friend of peace.
But I am not a pacifist. All my impressions of war are so bad that I could be for it only under the sternest necessity — the necessity of fighting Bolshevism or of defending one's country.

“Fundamentally, Britain is responsible for the war. She was jealous. British business men wanted this war. It is a British business war. … We have no dislike for France, nor Russia. We think highly of the French. But Britain! We hate Britain!”

Interview with Senator Beveridge (March 1915), Paul Dehn, Hindenburg, als Erzieher (1918), p. 43, quoted in W. W. Coole (ed.), Thus Spake Germany (London: George Routledge & Sons, 1941), p. 174
Supreme Commander of All German Forces in the East

“In the Great War ledger, the page on which the Russian losses were written has been torn out. No one knows the figure. Five or eight Million?”

As quoted in With Snow on Their Boots : The Tragic Odyssey of the Russian Expeditionary Force in France During World War I (1999) by Jamie H. Cockfield, p. 28

“Interview of 1929, as quoted in "Nations are greatly concerned over death of German President" in Berkeley Daily Gazette”

1 August 1934
Variant translation:
I am not a pacifist. That is not my attitude. But all my impressions of war are so bad that I could be for it only under the sternest necessity — the necessity of fighting Bolshevism or of defending one's country.
As quoted in TIME magazine (13 January 1930)
President

“Recently, a whole series of cases has been reported to me in which judges, lawyers, and officials of the Judiciary who are disabled war veterans and whose record in office is flawless, have been forcibly sent on leave, and are later to be dismissed for the sole reason that they are of Jewish descent.
It is quite intolerable for me personally…that Jewish officials who were disabled in the war should suffer such treatment, [especially] as, with the express approval of the government, I addressed a Proclamation to the German people on the day of the national uprising, March 21st, in which I bowed in reverence before the dead of the war and remembered in gratitude the bereaved families of the war dead, the disabled, and my old comrades at the front.
I am certain, Mr. Chancellor, that you share this human feeling, and request you, most cordially and urgently, to look into this matter yourself, and to see to it that there is some uniform arrangement for all branches of the public service in Germany.
As far as my own feelings are concerned, officials, judges, teachers and lawyers who are war invalids, fought at the front, are sons of war dead, or themselves lost sons in the war should remain in their positions unless an individual case gives reason for different treatment. If they were worthy of fighting for Germany and bleeding for Germany, then they must also be considered worthy of continuing to serve the Fatherland in their professions.”

“In case of a resumption of hostilities we are militarily in a position to reconquer, in the east, the province of Posen and to defend our frontier. In the west, we cannot, in view of the numerical superiority of the Entente and its ability to surround us on both flanks, count on repelling successfully a determined attack of our enemies. A favorable outcome of our operations is therefore very doubtful, but as a soldier I would rather perish in honor than sign a humiliating peace.”

Letter to Friedrich Ebert after the Treaty of Versailles was presented to Germany (17 June 1919), quoted in Andreas Dorpalen, Hindenburg and the Weimar Republic (Princeton University Press, 1964), p. 39 and John W.

“I need them for the manoeuvring of my left wing in the next war.”

“You cannot wage war with sentimentality. The more ruthlessly war is conducted, the more merciful is it in fact, for it finishes the war the sooner.”

Remark (November 1914), Paul Dehn, Hindenburg, als Erzieher (1918), p. 12, quoted in W. W. Coole (ed.), Thus Spake Germany (London: George Routledge & Sons, 1941), p. 74
