Page "Krupp" Paragraph 41
from
Wikipedia
In the hyperinflation of 1923, the firm printed Kruppmarks for use in Essen, which was the only stable currency there.
French soldiers inspecting Krupp ’ s factory in Essen were cornered by workers in a garage, opened fire with a machine gun, and killed thirteen.
This incident spurred reprisal killings and sabotage across the Rhineland, and when Krupp held a large, public funeral for the workers, he was fined and jailed by the French.
