Weimar hyperinflation was in the early 20's, but Hitler came to power on the back of Bruning deflation in early 30's, which was due to the Great Depression, not the Versailles Treaty. While you could maybe try to argue that those were all related anyway, it's worth remembering that there was a full decade worth of events there, and hyperinflation is just one episode of many, and not necessarily the most important one.
