Description

Three 1000 Reichsbanknotes. Each has a different illustration on the back: first, is a cariacature of a man speaking into a microphone as another writes at a desk. The second shows a man bowing to a Swastika with "Hitler, Nationalsozialismus" around it. On the bottom is the caption, "Gott der Gerechte! Scho mieder ä naier Gometh!" The third note shows the profile of a caricaturized man in glasses with the caption, "Sowjet Jude Radeck."

Information Provided by Michael D. Bulmash:

German Weimar Republic 1000 Reichsmark currency notes issued in 1922 by the German Treasury overprinted with Nazi antisemitic propaganda. Due to inflation and the crash of the German economy during the Weimar Republic, the Third Reich government revalued currency, blaming Jews for the economic collapse. They printed antisemitic images and phrases on the reverse of the bills.
