The last Hindenburg Line
Description
While planning the next offensive, the German Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg becomes disturbed by images of himself hanging from a rope. During the First World War, von Hindenburg was one of the most popular German officers, and was the centre of a personality cult that held him up as an ideal German man.
