1934 OPERATION BERNHARD £10 ENGLAND COUNTERFEIT

Sign In to see what this sold for

These counterfeit notes were made by Jewish concentration camp internees that were assembled at Sachsenhausen by operation director and SS officer Frederich Bernhard Krueger. Purpose of this operation was to finance German spies in England, destabilize British currency and to acquire legitimate hard currency notes in exchange for these fakes. This one bears K.O. Pappiatt signature and bears series number K134. Many of these come stained, folded and otherwise damaged. This one is far above ordinary. Bit ragged at bottom as these notes do not have neat margins. Lightly folded once vertically. Very fine for this.
