    The two periods may not be comparable.

    Although an expansion in the monetary base may be a necessary condition for hyperinflation, it may not be a necessary and sufficient condition.

    The Germany of the Weimar Republic was faced with economic, social and political breakdown.

    A better analogy if Japan after the 1980's.

    To paraphrase SCK's words:

    "If you want to see a similar period in history, regarding QE......

    research Japanese deflation after 1989......"

    That's probably a much better analogy than Germany in the 1920's.
