The true story of Salomon Sorowitsch
(Karl Markovics), counterfeiter extraordinaire and bohemian. After getting
arrested in a German concentration camp in 1944, he agrees to help the
Nazis in an organized counterfeit operation set up to help finance the
war effort. It was the biggest counterfeit money scam of all times:
over £130 million in British currency was printed, under conditions
that couldn't have been more tragic or spectacular. During the last
years of the war, as the German Reich saw that the end was near, the
authorities decided to produce their own banknotes in the currencies
of their major war enemies. At the Sachsenhausen concentration camp,
two barracks were separated from the rest of the camp and transformed
into a fully equipped counterfeiters workshop. "Operation Bernhard"
was born. Director: Stefan Ruzowitzky Reviews RottenTomatoes.com
