Bus/Financial - Insurance / German's WW2 economic system | | German term or phrase: Altsparerentschädigung | Could this be a typo?
The term comes up in a document that is part of a Holocaust survivor's claim for compensation for lapsed insurances. ... "Eine Altsparerentschaedigung entfaellt auch in diesem Fall, weil die Versicherung bereits am .....1941 faellig geworden waere." |

| | compensation for pre-war savings | Explanation:
It comes up in KudoZ search already - see http://www.proz.com/?sp=search_kudoz , then http://www.proz.com/kudoz/867948 (personally, I'd find "compensation for pre-monetary reform savings" more appropriate as this covers the period until 1948). Altsparer = an individual/person having made "historic"/"old" savings.
No typo involved here, except perhaps for the German umlaut ä.

More precisely, the term Altsparer refers to the period from 1940 to 1948, according to the KudoZ question quoted. |
