Hard to believe that the First World War had ended such a relatively short time before.

Excellent content. Colorizing seem to add depth and modernity, the human subjects seem to have been ‘brought to life’ as it were. At the same time I have used the black and white filter to alter some of my digital colour photos! These photos could make interesting coffee table books.

The hyperinflation, that plagued the early years of Weimer, was fixed by about 1925.

Germany was poor, it had its problems. But ut alao had a kot of wealth. Its economy was stronger than both Englands and France in its most poor state. I always said, this is where Hitler was quite over rated when it came ro the economy. Germanys collapse had notging to do qith theie banking system.

[@yvonneplant9434]

@@charliemunk2947 Germany got loans from the United States by the mid- 1920s which helped stabilized its economy. The hyperinflation was over by then. When the 1929 crash happened the US called the loans in which Weimar couldn't pay. The German economy unraveled after that. By 1931/32 millions of Germans were unemployed. It all made the rise of the far right easier.
