In 1936, Salomon ‘Sally’ Sorowitsch (Markovics) is arrested for forgery and sent to Mauthausen concentration camp. Eight years later he is transferred to Sachsenhausen to head up history’s biggest counterfeiting operation - part of a Nazi plan to destabilise the Allied economies.

A fine film with a strong performance by Karl Markovics.
