Paul von Hindenburg

Hindenburg was a German general during World War I. He was given credit for the major German victory against Russia at the Battle of Tannenberg. This battle was at the very beginning of the war, and the German army destroyed almost all of the Russian Second Army. Hindenburg was then promoted to commander in chief of the German land armies, in part because of this battle. He was also the second president of Germany.
