QUESTION:<\/strong> Dear Marty<\/p>\n

\n

Following your blog is a good way to counter the propaganda in our society.<\/p>\n

Today you stated:<\/p>\n

\u2018This was the fate of the hyperinflation in Germany. It was NOT the Quantity of Money theory, it was the fact that there was a 1918 Communist Revolution in Germany where they had even asked the Communist Russians to take over Germany. It was the collapse in CONFIDENCE that led to the hyperinflation.\u2019<\/p>\n

Living in the UK, with German friends, I do not know any person who is aware of this and they would not believe that Germany nearly became communist if I told them. This is not taught at school anywhere.<\/p>\n

Can you point me to some literature or other sources where we can find out more about what happened with the communists in Germany and elsewhere in Europe? I know they are making a resurgence at present (Think the EU!)<\/p>\n

Thanks for all you do<\/p>\n

\"\"ANSWER:<\/strong> Curious. I know that in Germany they do not really teach the details of the rise of Hitler. But he was the ultimate reaction to the events of the 1920s. There is a good book on the subject, but it is in German \u2013 Die Deutsche Revolution 1918\/19<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>I have explained this revolution<\/strong> <\/a>for this is why Germany overthrew Emperor Wilhelm II who was compelled to abdicate. There are photographs of the civil war that took place at that time.<\/p>\n

This was the\u00a0Weimar Republic, which was the revolution and the end of Prussian emperors.\u00a0The revolutionary period lasted from November 1918 until the adoption in August 1919. But what also seems to be omitted from many accounts taught in school, is the simple fact that the German government interfered in the Russian Revolution and was instrumental in creating the Russian Revolution.<\/p>\n
