Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net  a"War Prisoner Money and Medals" by Guido Kisch is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. This book explores the specific types of currency and medals associated with prisoners of war, focusing on their issuance and significance during conflicts, particularly from the World War eras. It provides an in-depth analysis of both internment camp money and commemorative medals, highlighting their roles in wartime economies and the humanitarian considerations surrounding the treatment of prisoners.  Kisch’s work meticulously details how different nations, particularly Germany and France during World War I, produced special currency for prisoners of war to mitigate the economic impact of having captives. The book discusses various types of internment camp money, their design, and numismatic interest, suggesting that these were often produced in vast quantities, far exceeding the actual wartime needs. Additionally, the author examines commemorative medals created for the welfare and recognition of war prisoners, asserting that while these tokens served to raise funds and honor captives, they never achieved the systemic production of internment money. Each section of the book presents a collection of historical narratives, alongside illustrations of the currency and medals, making it a valuable resource for numismatists and those interested in military history.
