ヴェルナー・フォン・ブロンベルク
Schleicher's example in bringing down the Brüning government led to a more overt politicization of the "Reichswehr". From the spring of 1932 officers such as Werner von Blomberg and Walther von Reichenau had started talks on their own with the NSDAP. Schleicher's example actually served to undermine his own power, since, in part, his power had always rested on the fact that he was the only general who was allowed to talk to the politicians.
