What is hyperinflation? It’s when a currency becomes worthless, and the population literally uses the money to wipe their ass or make bags to sell. Hyperinflation happened in Germany, and it allowed a power vacuum to form, and it was seized by Hitler. Hyperinflation makes the population so poor that any idea other than the ones that got them into their current situation sound like a good alternative. Hitler knew that and used hyperinflation as a weapon when everyone was poor.
