Inflation was very great. It took thousands of Marks to purchase a postage stamp and a loaf of bread. Many young people could not get jobs. One of my friends who lived in Germany during this time said that Hitler was a favorite of her mother because he gave her son's jobs with his policies. She was wondering what to give her mother for a birthday present and decided on a large picture of Hitler in a frame. Even at the end of the war after all the terrible things he had done were known she and her mother hid the picture because they could not bring themselves to destroy it. Mary E. Haas
