The mises website also mentions the issuance of so-called "Mefo-Wechsel" (a non-public state loan) by the Nazi government in the second half of the 1930's in order to hide the finance and costs of the rearmament. I guess they end up the same fate as the coupons you show.

I don't know about the "Mefo-Wechsel". This loan was negotiated before Hitler took over. You are right though all these government loans end in de jure or de facto (inflation) default.
