and the loss of a third of the money supply

kind of a throw-away line. the Feds actually removed the money from circulation. In the U.S., a dollar was worth something, but nobody had one.
In Germany, everyone had Deutschmarks and they were worth nothing.

this would be a different kind of crash.

Are you confusing 1923 Germany with 1929 US?

Excuse me, but the Deutsche Mark was one of the strongest currencies (= most stable) in Europe. And it continuously gained worth against the dollar. Maybe you referred to the East German (Commie) Mark?
