Summary:

Fight for what you believe in and face certain death – or co-operate with the enemy to save your own skin? Such is the dilemma at the heart of this compelling WWII drama about concentration camp Jews spared the gas chamber – in exchange for printing fake money for the Nazis. Known as Operation Bernhard, the Nazi scam, which set out to crush the British and US economies with counterfeit cash, succeeded in forging over £130million before the end of the war.

Reviews:
