Germany - 3 million mark - Anti semitic overprint - 07.

Nazi party advertising 1932 election propaganda 'leaflet' created by printing a Jewish caricature and anti-semitic message on a genuine 3 million Reichsmark bill from the German 1923 high-Inflation period -- the bill reminding the people of the extremely hard times they went through, and the caricature places the blame. This was printed on a used bill, so is pretty worn, as per scan, starting to separate along the fold in center. "der jude nahm uns silber, gold und speck den deutschen lies er diesen dreck" -- "The Jew takes our Gold, Silver and Bacon and leaves us this filth" Even beyond the nuttiness of the general sentiment -- the Jews are taking the *bacon*? (The term 'Speck' can be used for ham, prosciutto, or bacon, but it's still pork!)

Around the inscription four swastikas.


Estimate: $80 - $100
