Here's something interesting discovered about von Hindenberg.

You know that stupid "stab in the back" theory that Hitler and some others believed, that Germany had somehow been betrayed by its own leadership in WW1, and that's why they surrended? von Hinderberg believed it as well. I mean, he seemed like a pretty intelligent guy, and not mentally ill like Hitler quite possibly was, and yet he still believed it.

I guess after a huge defeat, I suppose people need a way to rationalise it, so they can cope. Still seems farfetched, though.
