Hindenburgs Son Oskar von Hindenburg was in OTL an important person during the rise of Hitler. He was also his father's personal assistant. How could he become Chancellor and rule Germany long term?

He's too much of a blustering idiot for that to be realistic. You'd need some significant change in Oskar's earlier life to make this likely, perhaps a different military service in WWI? A chance, earlier, meeting with von Papen and a deeper friendship developing between the two? Oskar gives more support to von Papen's attempt to become Chancellor in '33 and Oskar gets the job later down the line?
