      You definitely had the ability to invest in the US/UK stock markets from Berlin during the 1920s. The Black Tuesday 1929 Wall Street crash kicked off a shockwave of economic contraction that toppled multiple European governments, Germany included.

      I have to assume that a hypothetical alt-history Hitler who was heavily invested in the DOW Jones in 1929 would have felt just about the same way.
