[PAR] [TLE] Hindenburg Programme [SEP] The Hindenburg Programme of August 1916 is the name given to the armaments and economic policy begun in late 1916 by the Third "Oberste Heeresleitung" ("OHL", the German General Staff), Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg and General Erich Ludendorff.  The two were appointed after the sacking of General Erich von Falkenhayn on 28 August 1916 and intended to double German industrial production, greatly to increase the output of munitions and weapons. [PAR] [TLE] Erich von Falkenhayn [SEP] General Erich Georg Anton von Falkenhayn (11 September 1861 – 8 April 1922) was the Chief of the German General Staff during the First World War from September 1914 until 29 August 1916.  He was removed in the late summer of 1916 after the failure at the battle of Verdun, the opening of the Allied offensive on the Somme, the Brusilov Offensive and the entry of Romania into the war.  He was later given important field commands in Romania and Syria.  His reputation as a war leader was attacked in Germany during and after the war, especially by the faction which supported Hindenburg.  Falkenhayn held that Germany could not win the war by a decisive battle but would have to reach a compromise peace; his enemies said he lacked the resolve necessary to win a decisive victory.  Falkenhayn's relations with the Chancellor Bethmann-Hollweg were troubled and undercut Falkenhayn's plans.
