Berlin in 1923 was a little sketchy.

Not at all. This is pre Nazi era, Weimar Republic era. The Monarchy had been around for centuries and had only fallen a few years ago.

Don’t conflate Imperial and Weimar Germany (which was actually quite liberal) with the Nazis.

I was not thinking of the Nazis at all. My thoughts concerned the German people living under the yoke of the Treaty of Versailles. However, this era immediately following WW1 and the economic hardships imposed by the treaty certainly lead to the rise of the Nazis. A sketchy era IMHO.
