Details
There have been a at least fifteen portrait figures produced by Hausser/Elastolin and Lineol, which represent Paul von Hindenburg. There are eight standing figures, two walking figures and five figures on horseback. Though these figures were made upon 1928, after Paul von Hindenburg had already left active duty, quite a few show him in the Field-Marshall uniform of the imperial German army. The reason for this may be, that he quite often wore this uniform in public during the 3rd Reich, trying to remind to the old imperial power.
