Germany’s economy went on a downward spiral, It’s economy was inflated and it got to the point were a wheelbarrow full of Marks could buy a loaf of bread, apparently about 4,210,500,000,000 marks were worth one US dollar. Before the War, The 1000 Mark was worth 238 USD. This hyperinflation led to thousands being out of Jobs and contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the NDASP.
