== About == [[File:WarBonds ver04.png|200px|right]] War Bonds were issued by Reto-Moto as a way for fans and serious players to help finance the development of the game, and at the same time get something useful in return for their contribution. Within the game, War Bonds worked in the same way as the historical war bonds issued by governments during times of conflict. When the great nations clashed they all needed the basic resource of war money. For example, United States Government issued public bonds to raise enough money to finance the war machine. President Roosevelt bought the first bond of the new [[wikipedia:Series E bond|Series-E bonds.]] Germany never issued any war bonds publicly in World War 2. In 1914, at the start of WW1, Germany had tried to float a major loan on Wall Street and it failed miserably, resulting in the government issuing various bonds such as the public war bond (''Kriegsanleihe'') to finance the war effort. While this raised some 100 billion Marks, it only covered two-thirds of the cost of the war, and the interest payable as well as the post-war reparations imposed on Germany (some 132 billion Marks, equivalent to US $442 billion today), essentially crippled the German government in years leading up to World War 2 . In fact the German government did not finish fully repaying its World War I debts until 2010. To avoid risking another failure (highly likely given Germany's foreign policy of the 1930's) that could bring uncertainty to the public regarding the strength of the country, Germany instead borrowed directly from domestic banks. Using short-term war bonds as collateral, this resulted in the funds sitting within some 40 million bank and investment accounts being quietly transferred to the Reich, essentially a continuous supply of money. {{-}}
