I found these in a lot of foreign currency. My understanding is that the overprint represents a satellite or work camp but I have not been able to identify this one or find another example. Is anyone familiar with these?

Thanks

I am sure that you have deduced that this is prisoner money that was used in the Buchenwald concentration camp during WW11.

We can only hope that we shall never see a time in history like this again.

I have searched everywhere online I can find a lot of examples of Buchenwald Kantine currency but no examples of this overprint. I would really like to know where it is from.
