Explain the effects of German hyperinflation? (6)

The German hyperinflation of 1923 had severe socio-economic and political consequences for the stability of the Weimar Republic. Economically, the value of the Papiermark rapidly plummeted over the course of the year. The cost of everyday items rose steeply: the price of basic foodstuffs ran into the millions of marks by the end of 1923, with workers famously collecting and transporting their wages in wheelbarrows or suitcases. In addition, the lifetime savings of many among the German middle-class were wiped out almost overnight, giving rise to destabilising social discontent. Politically, confidence in the Weimar Republic was seriously undermined by the crisis of 1923. This resulted in a series of communist and fascist uprisings, most infamously the Munich Putsch led by Adolf Hitler. In the longer term, this damaged credibility would aid the rise of the Nazi Party to power, with memories of hyperinflation leaving a toxic legacy for the fragile Weimar Republic.
