as often is the case the symptoms are confused with the cause.....the WW1 reparations were paid by Germany in REAL money (gold), once they were denuded of this backing, the English, in particular, then shorted the crap out of the mark causing the need to print and subsequent hyperinflation.......only to be stopped when the Germans (Hitler) created their own 'internal' currency which could not be 'manipulated'......I bet GS had a finger in it back then as well......and regardless of what happened afterwards, at that point in time Hitler was truly a hero for the Germans.....this information is called circumspection.
