OriginalField Marshal Paul von Hindenburg in 1914
Reason
WWI's anniversary continues, as does WWII's. Hindenburg was arguably one of the most important men in Germany throughout WWI, the interwar period, and, finally, the eventually futile attempts to stop Hitler's rise to power, with him slowly forced to give Hitler more and more power after agreeing to stand for election as president in order to stop him.

FP category for this image
WP:Featured pictures/People/Military seems best - he was a major political player, but that was after this image.
