1. Thomas Hager, The Alchemy of Air, Three River Press, New York, (2008),
p. 178.
2. The Allies demanded that payments be made in gold Marks or foreign
currency and not in the paper Mark. They initially demanded 132 billion
Marks, far more than the German gold and foreign exchanges could possibly
raise. The last (reduced) installment was made in October 2010.
3. So-called because it was named after the city where the constitutional
assembly took place. It was the seat of German culture, both Goethe and
Schiller were born there.
