Later, he was president in 1934 alongside the Nazi Party. Some Germans suspected that he was near death, and that the Nazi Party were waiting for him to die. (PROSE: Big Bang Generation ^[+]Gary Russell, BBC New Series Adventures (BBC Books, 2015).) Susan Foreman knew of him as one of the big political players in Germany during the 1930s.

Behind the scenes[]

General Hindenberg is presumably intended to be a reference to the real life General Paul von Hindenburg. However, Illegal Alien spells his name wrong.
