Download Krueger's Men: The Secret Nazi Counterfeit Plot and the Prisoners of Block 19 AudioBook Free
The true story of the best counterfeiting scheme in history and the men the Nazis called after to help it succeed-a group of concentration-camp Jews. Only a fortnight following the start of World War II, at a gathering that has remained a secret for over fifty percent a century, Nazi leaders and officials of the German Reichsbank approved an audacious plot to counterfeit an incredible number of British pounds. Now, drawing after top-secret bank records, German and British correspondence, and interrogation transcripts, award-winning journalist and author Lawrence Malkin reveals how an unremarkable SS officer named Bernhard Krueger attempted to bring down the globe financial system. But when Krueger uncovered that forging pounds, and later dollars, was no easy task, he made a crucial decision: he would seek out the best counterfeiters of prewar Europe and enlist them in the effort. He found them within an unexpected place: a Nazi concentration camp.
