| Opmerkingen |
Wiesa bei Annaberg was a small Saxon camp holding captured Allied officers during the First World War — a distinct administrative category from enlisted prisoner camps, with officers entitled under the Hague Conventions to separate accommodation and, critically, not compelled to work. The camp's own scrip filled the gap left by a prohibition on circulating Reichsmark notes inside the wire, a policy applied across German PoW facilities from around 1916 to prevent currency leaking back into civilian hands.
Johannes Pässler of Dresden produced the printing. The handstamp was the sole security measure — straightforward to fake, but camp scrip fraud was more a theoretical concern than a documented problem at facilities this size.
