CНM Operation Bernhard.
KIADБS ЙVE 1962
A Bernhard akció egy államilag szervezett grandiózus pénz- és értékpapír-hamisító "hadmûvelet" volt. A nácik azt tervezték, hogy hamis font- és dollárbankjegyekkel árasztják el a pénzpiacot, és pénzügyi csõdbe juttatják a szövetségeseket. A vállakozás elõkészítésérõl, kivitelezésérõl és következményeirõl szól Anthony Pirie könyve.
