1 Reichsmark Reichskreditkassenschein

The Reichskreditkassen were established specifically as occupation currency machinery — these notes were not intended for domestic German circulation but were issued in territories under Wehrmacht control to pay troops and extract local goods without drawing on Reichsbank reserves. The system was deliberately designed so the occupied population absorbed the inflationary cost.

P#R136 circulated across a remarkable geographic range: France, Belgium, Norway, Greece, North Africa, and the Eastern Front at various points. That breadth, combined with wartime attrition, means survivors show considerable wear variance depending on where they were used.
