50 Fenigow Oflag VII-A

Oflag VII-A at Murnau held predominantly Polish officers captured after the September 1939 campaign and, later, after the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. By 1944, the camp had developed a functioning internal economy, and the commandant's administration — under Wehrmacht oversight — authorised scrip denominations to control purchasing within the canteen system and limit the utility of any currency smuggled out.

These Lagergeld notes were printed within the camp itself, which accounts for their rudimentary production. The 50 Fenigow was the smallest denomination in the Oflag VII-A series — fractional scrip rarely survives in any quantity, having been spent into tatters or simply discarded at liberation in April 1945 when American troops arrived.
