Thank you for the reply. I thought the German inflation period
started immediately *after* WW1. Wasn't it in 1921 and/or 1922 when
the multi-million mark notes started appearing?

During the Great War the devaluation of the Mark had started already
and there was a shortage of money. You are right - The serious
hyperinflation didn't start until after the war (due to the reparations
Germany had to pay to France and other countries.) Notgeld was already
appearing during WW1.
