Answer 2

the golden age was a time when Germany was living off American bank notes (which they eventually had to pay back) and everyone had a good job, a decent amount of money and entertainment was at it's peak! This was called the 'golden age' because it was the best time Germans had had since World War 1 started and finished, i hope this has helped you :)
