The Western Volunteer Army — nominally under German officer Pavel Bermondt-Avalov and operating across the Baltic in late 1919 — issued this currency while effectively functioning as a rogue force. The German high command had technically disbanded such units following the Armistice, but Bermondt-Avalov's men remained in the field, partly funded by German nationalist interests and partly self-sustaining through local requisition. These notes were the financial infrastructure of that arrangement.
Printed in Mitau, which the army briefly held before being driven out by Latvian and Estonian forces in November 1919, the issue had an extremely short operational life. Within weeks of printing, the army collapsed and the notes became worthless.
