In 1924 Charles C. Dawes recommended in his "Dawes plan" that the German industry should be re-constructed by means of borrowed capital from abroad. Within a few years, the bonded debt issued by German organizations totalled over $1,500,000,000.  Today, many of these bonds still exist unvalidated and uncancelled. In this comprehensive reference work author F. Paul Seabrook descibes 156 German Dollar bond issues in great detail including date of issue, denominations, amount cancelled, amount validated, amount uncancelled, purpose of the loan and much more.
