Mais, dans la masse des transactions menées par le Reich, cela était de bien peu d’importance. Talking about the Nazi agents who bought up artwork in Paris during WWII. Something like "arbitrary value of the deutschmark, whose rate of exchange...?"

My comment:

As for souvenir lovers, who used their occupancy balance, they were favored by the fictitious value of the mark, the official parity of which had been set at 20 francs, when in reality it was only worth half of it. But, in the mass of transactions carried out by the Reich, this was of very little importance.
