Berlin Palace, Frederick III only felt an immense pressure bearing down on him. Affected by the war, the economic crisis erupted, and the Kingdom of Prussia fell early into the Great Depression.
The Berlin Government had been able to hold out until now, that was by flipping the table and seizing assets to obtain a sum of money.
Flipping the table came at a cost, though Frederick III had taken decisive measures and promptly restored production, the government's fiscal revenue was still greatly impacted.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so problematic; things would eventually recover over time.
Unfortunately, it was a case of misfortune pouring down like rain in a leaky house; just as factories had been distributed, and everyone was ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work, the global economic crisis struck.
