Original – Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg in 1914

Reason: WWI's anniversary continues, as does WWII's. Hindenburg was arguably one of the most important men in Germany throughout WWI, the interwar period, and, finally, the eventually futile attempts to stop Hitler's rise to power, with him slowly forced to give Hitler more and more power after agreeing to stand for election as president in order to stop him.
Articles in which this image appears: Paul von Hindenburg (lead image, has been for a while); I've also been putting it in a couple other articles.; NOTE: {{CSS image crop}} is used to remove the border in thumbnail, as it's not very legible at that size.
FP category for this image: WP:Featured pictures/People/Military seems best - he was a major political player, but that was after this image.
