In 'The Hitler's Forger', Lawrence Malkin reveals the plot of a large-scale Nazi scam during World War II. The Nazi leadership planned the minting of millions of fake British pounds to finance their war plans and weaken the British economy. The operation was entrusted to the SS High Command Bernhard Krueger, who recruited the best currency forgers, a group of Jewish inmates at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Between 1942 and 1945, these prisoners forged 132 million British pounds, 15% of the currency in circulation in England. Malkin reconstructs this unprecedented criminal conspiracy, including personal details of the protagonists, photographs, plans and forged documents, thanks to access to secret bank accounts and declassified correspondence.
