Offizier-Gefangenenlager Köln am Rhein was one of a network of officer-grade PoW camps operating under the conventions that entitled captured officers to separate accommodation, orderlies, and internal purchasing privileges — which is precisely why camp scrip of this kind existed at all. The German military administered these facilities with enough bureaucratic formality that denominated internal currency was printed commercially rather than improvised, hence the commission to M. DuMont Schauberg, the long-established Cologne press better known for newspaper and commercial work.
Issued in the final year of the war, this note would have had an extremely short operational life.
