FLAPPERGIRLS & PUTSCHVERSUCHE Die Welt vergisst eine Pandemie, die Spanische Grippe hat ihren Schrecken verloren, eine Hyperinflation wird gestoppt. Der Schilling und die Rentenmark legen das Fundament für einen wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung. Das »kurze Jahrzehnt« der aufregenden 1920er beginnt. Sechs Jahre nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg gewöhnen sich die Menschen Europas an neue Wirklichkeiten: Tempo und Technik. Flugzeuge umrunden erstmals die Erde. Sie brauchen dafür 175 Tage. Der erste Zeppelin fliegt über den Atlantik. Berlin wird Zentrum der künstlerischen Avantgarde, die moderne Frau mit Bubikopf und kurzen Röcken genießt ungeahnte sexuelle Freiheiten. Das Radio beginnt seinen Siegeszug. Neue Töne: Charleston, Swing und Shimmy. Wird jetzt alles gut? Blitze am Horizont. Adolf Hitler wird aus der Haft entlassen, Stalin gelangt an die Macht, Mussolini lässt seine Faschisten aufmarschieren, eine Spekulationsblase platzt, Banken stürzen, Attentate. Gerhard Jelinek führt uns zum Anfang der rasanten, goldenen 1920er – zwischen Hoffnung und aufziehenden Katastrophen. Eine Rückschau zum Anschnallen!.
