Reading recommendations on Weimar Germany?

[Schmetterling]

If you don't mind fiction, try "Little man, what now?" by Hans Fallada. Or "Wolf amongst wolves" by the same author. Both are set during the Weimar Republic's time. Both give an idea of how day to day life of ordinary people was affected.

That was going to be my suggestion. And pretty much anything by Fallada - even his fables.

FT columnist Wolfgang Munchau said the other day that Mario Monti may be remembered by history as Italy's Bruning. Hilarity ensued.
