" "We were not foolish enough to try to make a currency backed by gold of which we had none, but for every mark that was issued we required the equivalent of a mark's worth of work done or goods produced. ...we laugh at the time our national financiers held the view that the value of a currency is regulated by the gold and securities lying in the vaults of a state bank."
Adolf Hitler, quoted in "Hitler's Monetary
System, " C. C. Veith, Citadels of Chaos (Meador, 1949)"
