Description of
Germany, 1923 Hyperinflation, Hitler's Pusch and Democracy in Crisis [Audiobook]
B0CKRVYP4V M4B@64 kbps Author: Volker Ullrich Narrator: Christopher Douyard From a New York Times bestselling historian comes a gripping account of the crisis that threatened to unravel the Weimar Republic. The great Austrian writer Stefan Zweig confided in his autobiography: "I have a pretty thorough knowledge of history, but never, to my recollection, has it produced such madness in such gigantic proportions." He was referring to Germany in 1923, a "year of lunacy," defined by hyperinflation, violence, a political system on the verge of collapse, the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, and separatist movements threatening to rip apart the German nation.
