Notes
Hindenburg flew around Germany for over 74 hours, dropping eight different election leaflets, playing patriotic music, and broadcasting propaganda messages over loudspeakers for the upcoming election.
Translation from German to English of this propaganda leaflet:
Adolf Hitler in his historic Reichstag speech: “Once I struggled for 14 years for the approval of my ideals by the German people and, thanks to their trust, was appointed by the venerable German Field Marshal [Paul von Hindenburg, President of the Weimar Republic]. Since then, I have drawn all my strength from the happy knowledge of being indissolubly united with my people as man and leader.” Therefore, on March 29th, your vote for the leader [Führer]!
