The Counterfeiters — Austria
The Operation Bernhard team is transferred through Mauthausen to Ebensee as Allied forces close in — and prisoners sabotage the counterfeit currency.
The prisoners deliberately delayed and sabotaged dollar production by hiding plates and losing time. Survivor Adolf Burger later estimated that the sabotage prevented millions in fake US dollars from circulating. Millions in forged pound notes were dumped into Lake Toplitz in Austria, where some were recovered by divers in 1959.
