Wholesome in the most “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” brand of mythical Americanism, “12 Mighty Orphans” is engineered to rouse emotions with uncritical pride, never reaching the less immaculate corners of the historical period it employs as canvas.
As schematic as they come, this is a movie about football innovation and good people helping parentless teenagers transition into more self-confident young men. Reworked from Jim Dent’s novel, about the real 1930s-1940s Mighty Mites team from the Masonic Home and School of Texas, this on-screen reformatting directed by Ty Roberts is competently pedestrian.A country emerging from the Great Depression serves as backdrop. President Roosevelt has put the New Deal in motion and the nation thirsts for hopeful stories that speak of a better tomorrow for all. Enveloped in that sentimentality is teacher, coach, and war hero Rusty Russell (Luke Wilson). He moves his family to an orphanage, the Masonic Home, to impact the resident boys’ lives through academics and, more vehemently, on the field.
Deployed early on and repeated throughout, bombastic editing choices call back to Rusty’s days on the battleground, creating visual parallels between war and football. These bits, which intermingle archival footage and black-and-white reenactments, cheapen the otherwise visual pleasantness of David McFarland’s cinematography (even if he likely shot those unfortunate snippets too). The majority of the boys we meet, including the ones that make the cut for the dozen in question, don't get much of a backstory; some never even speak. Hardy Brown (Jake Austin Walker), the requisite unruly sheep, is the notable exception. Following both biblical parables and clichés pertinent to movies about coaches and underdog teams, he is the prodigal child that eventually comes around proving himself indispensable. Without Rusty saving him, he’s the MVP that could have easily gone MIA.
Pent up anger permeates Walker’s performance. His dangerous self-destructiveness and pessimism give “12 Mighty Orphans” a slightly edgier tone. He cuts through Russell’s saccharine determinism, in spite t characters.

Answer: The German government economy was in a state of collapse, and its money was essentially worthless.
Explanation:
The Treaty of Versailles (1919), signed after the end of World War I, was very harsh in the terms imposed against Germany. Germany was forced to pay large reparation payments to the countries that it had fought against in the war. Along with accepting full responsibility for causing the war, Germany was ordered make monetary payments for the damage caused "as a consequence of the aggression of Germany and her allies." Occupation of territories in the Rhine and Ruhr valleys was threatened if Germany did not make good on reparations payments.
The Germany economy was crippled by the payments it was supposed to make, and its government (as the Weimar Republic) was unable to keep up with the payments. In 1923, French troops occupied the Ruhr region. Germans living in the region responded with civil disobedience and a workers strike. The Weimar Republic government sided with the workers and printed bank notes to pay the workers while they were on strike. Printing additional money with no real economic foundation to support the increased money supply led to extreme inflation. The German economy got worse and worse.
Then came the Great Depression, beginning in 1929. The Great Depression was worse in Germany than in America. The hyperinflation in Germany got so bad so that their currency became essentially worthless. I don't see the photo you mentioned of a man using German money as wallpaper. But I've attached another photo from the time period, which shows children playing with stacks of money as if they were building block toys -- another illustration that German currency wasn't really worth anything as money.
The bad situation in Germany made it possible for a radical leader like Hitler, making all sorts of bold promises, to win over enough people to rise to power.
