1939–1945 Nazi Germany 20 Reichsmark Occupation Note G–VF

Under Hitler’s Thumb: Nazi Occupation Notes From World War II

As the terror of Nazi Germany’s Third Reich spread across Europe, new legal-tender notes were put into circulation alongside the local currency of each town, city and country that had been forcibly incorporated into the Reich. These German Reichmark notes are examples of those currency, preserved since World War II and now available for your collection.

The Ever-Present German Eagle And Nazi Swastika

Since ancient times, money has always been a useful tool in the hands of a cunning propagandist. How better to assert control over the populace than by plastering one’s message on the money the citizenry must use in everyday commerce. And in the hands of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and his devious propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, this propaganda strategy was used to chilling and diabolical effect, forcing its way into the subconscious day in and day out, eventually becoming part of the national psyche. These occupation notes often incorporated traditional images like landmarks, young people in native costumes, and scenes related to farming and industry. But the underlying theme touting der Führer’s authority was always there in the form of the ever-present German Eagle and Nazi swastika.
