He was the thing Germany had spent two centuries building: a careful, educated man with a job, a savings book, and a plan. In January 1923, his savings were a comfortable cushion. By November, they couldn't buy a single postage stamp. This is the story of the Weimar hyperinflation—not just as an economic statistic, but as a daily nightmare of changing prices, barter economies, and the complete destruction of the German middle class. We trace the insidious collapse of the Papiermark, from the occupation of the Ruhr to the moment wages had to be paid twice a day just to keep up with prices. Through the eyes of Karl and his wife Anna, we see how the inflation wiped out pensioners and savers while sparing those with physical assets, shattering the public's trust in institutions and paving the way for the chaos that followed.
