What happened to the German economy during world war 2?

Answer 1

1. Early 1920s - Inflation, culminating in hyperinflation in 1923. The currency was stablized in 1923-24. 2. High reparations payments. 3. 1930-33 - Deflation and very high unemployment in the Great Depression.

Answer 2

Well, I do know one of the problems involved inflation. France invaded the Ruhr Valley and wanted German citizens to work for them. The workers peacefully protested by refusing to work. The government kept printing more paper money to pay for the workers, which didn't help. The government produced more and more money to try and combat the inflation, but they had nothing to back it up with. Something that once cost 100 marks now cost 944,000 marks within a year. Eventually, with the lessening of reparations of WWI, Germany was able to get back on its feet. Unfortunately, the Great Depression hit, bringing back memories of the miseries of the previous economic depression.
