    Big Paul von Hindenburg energy.

    The former German President who instated Hitler as chancellor, and officially signed his “Reichstag Fire Decree” and “Enabling Act” into law, which abolished democracy.
    All in the name of an orderly transition during difficult times.
    Hindenburg died in August 1934, after which Hitler became President, as well.
