To Mitch and Dr. Zarkoff - I fear you have missed my point. The hyperinflation of the currency in the early years of the Weimarer Republik was a bitter pill at the time, but until the Crash and the near-simultaneous collapse of the Rothschild-associated Creditanstalt in Vienna in 1929, this was increasingly seen as a salutary lesson in mismanagement. Dr Streseman's government in the mid to later twenties had done much to right the ship, but his untimely demise and the instability in the political theater-of-absurd that was party politics leading up to the elections of 1933 had far more to do with the Scheissbraunen getting as far as they did. I will say nothing here of Reichspraesident von Hindenburg or the Industry League. I don't think there's enough space or patience here for a seminar on 20th C. German politics and history. Take my word for it, I've spent a lifetime studying this in and out of seminars, and libraries like the Hoover Institute.
As an aside, The National Socialist German Worker Party never got more than 33% in any democratic
election, which elections came to an end when Von Hindenburg appointed(!) Herr Hitler to the Chancellorship and the passage of the Enabling Act following the Reichstag fire.
BTW Dr. Z. seen Buster Crabbe around lately?
