The stamps are inflation stamps, but the overprint on it is private. The stamps are from 1922 and were printed in vast quantities but Hindenburg only participated in the 1925 elections so the print is from later on. As there were still huge amounts of unused an no longer postally valid stamps like this available in 1925 (even now you can buy full sheets for pennies) these may have been considered as an easy form of propaganda on a letter. They have curiosity value only, if you sell them on ebay they are not considered real stamps but cinderella's or vignettes.
