10 Fenigow Oflag VII-A

Oflag VII-A at Murnau held senior Polish officers captured after the 1939 campaign and, later, those who had fought in the West. The camp's internal scrip was a closed monetary system — prisoners were paid nominal wages under Geneva Convention obligations, but only in currency usable within the wire. This 10 Fenigow note is among the lower denominations of a series produced and circulated entirely within that single compound.

The printing was done by the prisoners themselves, which accounts for the variation in impression quality seen across surviving examples. Oflag VII-A was liberated by American forces in April 1945; many of the camp's internal documents and scrip notes were preserved by the officers who carried them out.
