Default Can anyone tell me about these German WW1 (military?) issues?

Right, although it began relatively slowly. The hyperinflation was
mostly in 1921-23. In and right after WW1 there was a cash shortage
though.

Wasn't it in 1921 and/or 1922 when
the multi-million mark notes started appearing?


Yep. That period lasted until November 1923.

Don't know anything about those "notes", but the text on them is from a
famous play - Friedrich Schiller's "Wilhelm Tell".

die gelenke Kraft, / Der ringt sich leicht aus / jeder Fahr und Not ...
