A. weaker.

American loans had been key to the Weimar economy since 1924. Because of the Great Depression, no further loans were issued from late 1929, so banks struggled to provide money and credit, there were runs in 1931 and several of them folded.

German industrialists lost access to US markets due to tariff barriers and found credit almost impossible to obtain. Many industrial companies and factories either closed or shrank dramatically, provoking spiraling unemployment.

Public discontent with the economic situation and the government led to a dramatic rise in voter support for Hitler and the NSDAP, who became the largest party in the Reichstag.
