reichsmark

In 1942, another museum acquired a similar object for 300 Reichsmark.

The Nazi involvement in the acquisition was made clear by the glaringly low sales price of the kettle: 20 Reichsmark, or approximately $11.

According to the German Art Gallery, Hitler bought one of his 1940s paintings — of happy-looking “farm girls” — for 7,000 Reichsmark.

The bills included a conversion from the Nazi-era Reichsmark currency into euros for the original road surface, first laid in 1937, which is being dubbed "Hitler asphalt" by the German media.

From 1938, around 1,000 properties worth a total of 200m Reichsmark were bought up by the authorities, for a price fixed by them, to enable the building of Germania.
