I personally edited this very Wikipedia article several times, but my changes got reverted by goldbugs who want to memory-hole it.
This article has a nice explanation: https://www.hertie-school.org/fileadmin/user_upload/20191101...
If you don't believe the numbers from it, they can be corroborated easily.
And most importantly, the deflation was directly caused by Germany's insistence on staying on the gold standard. And this has been an almost ironclad law: large countries that insist on gold standard end up with stagnating economy.
If you want another interesting tale from the opposite side of the spectrum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%B6rgl#The_W%C3%B6rgl_Expe... - it's a town that was issuing "decaying" money in 1930-s and this helped to revitalize its economy.
Another example often cited by Paul Krugman was Washington's childcare coöp, but it's a bit too small-scale.
Just because two things are correlated in time, doesn't mean they are necessarily causally linked. Surely there are multiple factors at the same time behind the rise of a demagogue. In the case of Hitler the grievances of WWI played probably a much bigger role than economic problems.
Economic problems was a big part though, the 1929-33 great depression. It features heavily in political literature pushed by the Nazi party leading up to takeover. You know, like "Arbeit und Brot", etc.
