This is an excerpt from Stalag IIB: The Final Report Unclassified American Prisoners of War in Germany. Prepared by Military Intelligence Service War Department, 1 November 1945

PAY: The finance officer collected $17,000 from the Americans in camp. None of this money was returned. POW who did no work received no pay. Working POW received 70 pfennigs a day in lager-geld which was of little value since it could be spent only on knickknacks which were seldom available either in the Stalag or Kommando Headquarters.
