Description | Cartoon shows German presidential candidate Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, dressed as an angel wearing a gown labeled "1925," wearing a laurel wreath, playing a lyre, and singing "Peace, gentle peace." Behind him stands a bust of a fierce military Hindenburg, labeled "1917." A German dachshund looks on in surprise. Hindenburg was the military commander of Germany during World War I and a proponent of the theory that the Allies had stabbed Germany in the back. When he ran for president in 1925, he made a radio address urging peace and opposing war in Europe. |
