1929 - Das Jahr Babylon

Summary

A year of decisions. The country and the city are on the brink, the future is open, no one knows where the journey will take us. The First World War has been over for a good ten years, the defeat not understood, the republic a permanent state of emergency. History has only granted it four golden years. The splendor is based on credit and is already threatening to fade. There are 15 parties in the Reichstag, from the far left to the extreme right, and every government is an impossible coalition.
