Paul von Hindenburg

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his mid-80s with a full white mustache and thinning white hair. His face is deeply lined with age and stress, with sagging jowls and tired eyes that still retain a military sharpness. His posture is stiff, bearing the remnants of Prussian military bearing despite his advanced years.
Nazi Aide

A young man in his early 20s, with a lean but athletic build, clean-shaven face, and neatly combed blonde hair. His sharp, angular features and piercing blue eyes reflect the idealized Aryan appearance promoted by the Nazi Party.
Weimar Official
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean but slightly hunched posture, thinning gray hair combed neatly back, and a clean-shaven face with deep-set, weary eyes. His sharp nose and thin lips are accentuated by the harsh lighting of the chancellery hall.
SS Guard
background
A tall, lean man in his late 20s with a stern, chiseled face, close-cropped blond hair, and piercing blue eyes. His posture is rigid, and his expression is one of disciplined intensity.
Dialog
Paul von Hindenburg
The President signs this document with grave deliberation, trusting that the new Chancellor will uphold the dignity of the office and the constitution.
Adolf Hitler
Germany's dignity shall be restored tenfold, Herr President! What was torn asunder by traitors and weaklings, we shall rebuild with iron will!
Paul von Hindenburg
The Reichswehr remains under presidential authority. This is not... negotiable.
Adolf Hitler
Naturally, Herr President. But remember - the people have spoken. And the people... are now the National Socialist movement.
Paul von Hindenburg
The President hopes... the Chancellor will remember that governments rule by law, not by mobs.
Adolf Hitler
We shall see what the law becomes when the will of the Volk is made manifest!
