Prochnow gives prices in DM for the time the

prices to U.S. ones can not be done directly the _ratio_ is interesting.
It certainly can be done, Richard. This was the
era of the "four-to-one Mark" -- four Marks to
the dollar. So, divide the DM prices by four,
then go over to any of the inflation calculators
on the Web, and Bob's your uncle. DM360 in 1954,
for instance, would be around $620 today.
