Holzminden was arguably the most notorious British officer prisoner-of-war camp in Germany during the First World War — a former barracks at Holzminden-on-the-Weser administered with deliberate harshness by Hauptmann Karl Niemeyer, whose cruelty became the subject of formal Allied complaints. The camp's internal scrip was a practical necessity: isolating prisoners financially from the wider German economy was as much a control mechanism as a convenience.
König & Ebhardt were a well-established Hanover printing and bookbinding firm, not specialist security printers — which shows in the modest production values of the series. Holzminden is also remembered for the July 1918 tunnel escape, the largest British officer breakout of the entire war.
