1923 - a fateful year for Germany: Germany, groaning under the consequences of the lost world war, is no longer able to pay the reparations imposed on it. As a result, the French and Belgians occupy the Ruhr region. Berlin reacts with passive resistance, but the already shattered state finances are hopelessly overstretched. The consequences are unprecedented inflation, impoverishment and radicalization. At the same time, Paris supported separatism. Moscow and the KPD take advantage of the chaos to overthrow the regime, which they see as a decisive step towards world revolution. And the Hitler movement prepares to storm the republic. A hopeless situation for the political leaders in Berlin, who are fighting for the continued existence of a democratically constituted Reich. Ralf Georg Reuth tells the captivating story of this fateful year in German history, which is also a lesson for the present day.
