<p>[QUOTE=&quot;petronius, post: 1798160, member: 37365&quot;]When the German Army entered in a foreign country, a decree was issued, making the <i>Reichskreditkassencheine </i>legal tender at a specific exchange rate, usually unfavorable to the currency of the occupied country, with respect to pre-invasion exchange rate between <i>reichsmark</i> and local legal tender.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>German soldiers received their pay in <i>Rechskreditkassenscheine </i>notes, and because they were legal tender only in the occupied areas, it had to be spent there. Its value was forfeited on return to Germany. Branch offices of <i>Reichskreditkasse</i> were opened in all major cities of the occupied areas, to facilitate the normalization of commerce and to speed the pay of troops following occupation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]291606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]291607[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]291608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]291609[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;[ATTACH=full]291610[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]291611[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>petronius <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
