I don't understand the connection. Surely inflation hawks would want generally smaller bills? But even then only the stupidest among them would also think this could be achieved via printing specific denominations rather than interest rate and other real fiscal policy.

My understanding as an expat was the same as alasdair's - 2010-2015 I saw plenty of Germans drop a couple 500s to pay for hotel stays, major appliances, etc. Few people had a credit card and those that did didn't want to use it domestically. It's changing now but people still carry more cash and true credit card payments are still often impossible even as bank cards are now more common.

I guess you could argue this is also related to Weimar inflation, but I don't think it's so specific. Germany has seen multiple major regime changes in the space of one lifetime.

The rise Nazi is more a result of the sweeping austerity program Brüning's administration embarked on at the onset of the Great Depression. The hyperinflation episode took place in 1922-1923, Nazi's took power in 1933. It's a bit like blaming Bill Clinton for the slow 2010s recovery.

The scale of the cutback that Brüning enacted from 1930 to 1932 is truly staggering. The authors estimate that Brüning cut German government spending by about 15 percent, after inflation, from 1930 to 1932. He raised income taxes on high earners by an average of 10 percent, and slashed unemployment, pension, and welfare benefits. The economic consequences were horrific. GDP fell by 15 percent, as did government revenue. Unemployment increased from 22.7 percent to 43.8 percent. Brüning came to be known as the “Hunger Chancellor.”
