But my father grew up in Frankfurt and Köln (born 1916, remembered the 1923 hyperinflation, 1929 stock market crash etc. though he was a child these events had a big impact).

My grandfather and grandmother were poor farm hands and all these great events didn't affect them much, getting up and slopping hogs for 80 years of life doesn't seem to alter your daily habits much wether stock markets crash or world wars happen.

Near the end of his life granddad said, dont get fat, work hard everyday, always feed your chickens, and you will be OK - hehe. Biggest change he said he liked over his life that was modern, he got a TV once and watched some barnaby jones. Never drove, never learned to read or write, died not living that much different than his grandparents did on the farm. He had no use for cash or gold, but if you had a good hunting dog or fighting chicken - he was excited to talk to you - hehe.
