Paul von Hindenburg was an independent right wing candidate, Marx was from Zentrum and represented the center to left Weimar coalition, and Thalmann was from the Communist Party.
It have often heard that had Germany elected a pro-democracy candidate in Marx they could have avoided the degeneration of democracy that occured during Hindenburg's term.

With hindsight? It might be the only time I would cast a ballot for someone named Marx.
Without hindsight, I guess Jarres or Marx in the first round and Hindenburg in the second.

Interesting. Not to criticize your choice, but I am interested in what a conservative Democrat would see in Hindenburg that they wouldn't in the relatively centrist Marx.

War hero, he respected the Weimar Constitution untill he was pressured by his advisors to appoint Hitler as Chancellor.

Well in my case, I'm a reactionary Protestant, so 1920's me clearly would have supported Hindenberg, even if Marx is closer to my actual views today.

Spelling in Hindenberg in a response to that post... turning into a provo David?

DC, and of course you would have supported HindenBURG. You're a calvinist monarchist, I fail to see how you could have voted for Marx whose his party was relatively pro Weimar republic (even if it became a bit rightwing after 1930). And he was catholic. The catholic/prostestant divide was important at this time.
