The biggest problem currently faced by the German government is not the depreciation of the Mark but its continuous depreciation.
Such devaluation of the currency cannot be stopped at all; instead, bread has become a more stable "currency" for transactions than the Mark.
After all, bread is one of the necessities of daily life, while the Mark is no longer necessary.
Carrying a wallet full of Marks might only get you a small piece of bread. It's better to carry a piece of bread instead, which you can nibble on when hungry.
The economic chaos has determined the chaos of the German political scene.
President Hindenburg is unpopular, William II hardly makes public appearances, and the most popular figure is someone who rose from being a common soldier—Hitler.
Of course, the current situation in Germany is still very different from what history has recorded.
Strictly speaking, Germany is not a republic.
