Torgau's officer prisoner-of-war camp operated under the 1907 Hague Convention, which obligated detaining powers to pay captured officers their regular salary — in scrip, not Reich currency. This note is the physical mechanism of that obligation: a closed-economy instrument redeemable only within the camp, preventing any outflow of hard currency and ensuring prisoners couldn't fund escape attempts with spendable money.
Officer camps ran their own canteens, and denominations like this 10 Mark piece handled meaningful transactions — wine, tobacco, books. The Kommandantur issued these locally; no commercial printer was involved.
