The French are not best pleased by the election of Hindenburg as German president. Le Temps says, “It is because the German people seek to wipe out the memory and sentiment of their defeat that they have given this honor to the great defeated of 1918. ... The election of Field Marshal Hindenburg is a defiance of the Allies and a defiance of Europe and America.”
Former kaiser Wilhelm, on the other hand, is quite pleased, and says he would also be quite pleased to return from exile and resume his kaisership if, and only if, he’s invited (according to a vaguely sourced story).
