Camp 130 at Kananaskis was one of Canada's largest prisoner-of-war facilities, holding German POWs — many of them Afrika Korps veterans — through the latter war years and into the postwar period. This scrip was issued in 1946, after the war's end, when repatriation was still months away for many inmates. The camp currency system was designed to prevent POWs from accumulating Canadian legal tender, which could theoretically fund escape attempts or black-market activity.
The 1946 date is significant: men spending this scrip had already lived through Germany's defeat and were waiting, sometimes bitterly, to go home.
