10) Money - Instructions for GB servicement 1944

[German currency, banknotes and coins]

THE smallest German coin is the Pfennig. 100 Pfennigs make one Mark or more formally "Reichsmark".

When you enter Germany you will be given official information about the number of Marks which go to the Pound.

German coins at present in circulation are:
1, 5, and 10 Pfennig pieces, made of zinc, 5 and 10 Pfennig pieces made of an aluminum bronze alloy, an aluminum 50 Pfennig piece, and 2 Mark and 5 Mark pieces of a silver-copper alloy.

In addition to these coins you may come across the following notes: 1, 2 and 5 Mark notes issued by the Rentenbank, and 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1,000 Mark notes issued by the Reichsbank.

[German shops are allegedly empty]

Wherever you are stationed in Germany you will find at first that there is practically nothing to buy. Food, clothing and tobacco will be severely rationed; there will be no little things you can send home as gifts; the shops will be empty. Your needs will be looked after by Navy, Army and R.A.F. [Royal Air Force] issue and the NAAFI stores [p.45].

[4] NAAFI=Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes, an organization of the British Forces for providing the familiar members daily needs [see the German version, p.52].

The only thing you can buy from the Germans will be a glass of beer or wine [p.45].

[Well, also this is a big LIE of course because the little towns in the countryside are without damages yet and agriculture is working there. There is just a shortage of gasoline and spare parts - which is caused by the criminal allies again].

It will be a long time before the basic needs of the German population are satisfied and inessential goods are again produced.

[Churchill is concealing: from 1945 to 1950 the allies are dismantling intact German industries provoking hunger and mass murder by hunger DELIBERATELY
From 1945 to 1950 the allies were DELIBERATELY dismantling intact industries shipping these German industries to overseas provoking hunger, famine and mass murder by hunger DELIBERATELY in Germany - 12 million victims. See the book by the Canadian historian James Bacque: Crimes and Mercies].

So far the time being there is little you can do with your pay except save it. You should therefore draw the minimum [p.52].
