Opmerkingen

Eutin was a small town in Holstein with no particular financial significance — what put it on the notaphilic map was the establishment of an officer prisoner-of-war camp there during the First World War. Under the Hague Conventions, captured officers could not be compelled to work, so they were paid a nominal allowance by their captors. These internal camp scrips satisfied that obligation without releasing reichsmark currency into prisoners' hands or giving them anything spendable outside the wire.

Officer camp issues like this one are among the scarcer PoW notgeld types precisely because the captive population was small and the notes rarely left the camp economy at all.
