Operation Bernhard forged Ten pound note

[joelww2]

Hi guys,

This is a little different not quite third reich propaganda but it was produced by inmates at Sachsenhausen during the war as part of operation Bernhard, if you don’t know the story the SS intended to collapse the British economy by air dropping millions of pounds of counterfeit pound notes over Britain to cause inflation, instead the forgeries were used to fund the war effort and pay for the escape of Mussolini. Very interesting piece of history!

Hi Joel.

I have heard the story about these forgeries, but had never seen the actual currency before. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Kind regards,

Will.
