Making money, name of the game here as well, even in Nazi times!Distinctively, one of the most exciting prison drama movie of 2007. An Austrian-German effort, it is based on a true story of a Nazi operation to destroy both the British and US economies by flooding the world market with these currencies. The ruthlessness to get the counterfeit notes out into the market also indicated the near bankruptcy of the Nazi regime as the tide of war turned against them.
Salomon Sorowitsch, a master counterfeiter and other skilled Jewish workmen in the printing trade were gathered under Operation Berhard to counterfeit the pound and the US dollar, which they successfully did in the face of death threats and mental pressure.
A good picture with the haunting strains of the 1940's tango tunes reverberating throughout the movie.
A must see.
