To answer your enquiry regarding counterfeiting money, I did not comment on this subject, but while there might be an interest I will do it now, but partially:<br />Jocob Goldglss and Heinrich Fajermann, Jewish internees, released from the concentration camp at Ebensee prior to 9th May, 1945, gave the following account of a large scale counterfeiting operation by RSHA Amt F. This has been corroborated by seizure of documents and other materials on 25th Nay by 307 CIC Detachment. In January, 1944, subjects with 138 other Jewish printers, engravers, bookbinders and bank clerks were selected at Sachsenhausen concentration camp for the purpose of counterfeiting British currency and the falsification of a wide variety of foreign documents and credentials. I February, 1945, the printing plant was moved to Mauthausen concentration camp. Operations were discontinued in April. Subjects stated that the utmost secrecy was maintained and that all workers who became sick were shot and only the speed of our advance [The Allies,sic] prevented the execution of the personnel at Ebensee. A total of 130,519,175 British Pounds were counterfeited. Of them 50,000,000 were destroyed as poor counterfeits, although it was originally intended to drop them over England as a disruptive measure. Some 60,000,000 were taken to Tyrol, and by April 1945 20,000,000 were in the hands of the RSHA Agents who were attempt to put them in circulation in Allied territory. The material recovered by CIC Walchen near Wattens includes stored records of RSHA Amt F, blank passports of European and South American countries, sample passport pages with visas, official metal die stamps, wax impressions of foreign and diplomatic seals, American AGP and social security cards, counterfeiting material, including wire meshes for watermarks of British currency and for the US State Department seal and samples of British counterfeit 5 and 10 Pound (Sterling) notes.[sorce U.S. Weekly Intelligence Summary No. 42, H.Q. 12th Army Group, June, 1945 (ITS Historical Section).<br />In fact the money they printed was that good that the Bank of England accepted them as genuine. German Counter Intelligence Agents paid their most successful spy, codenamed 'Cicero' in the British Embassy in Ankara with counterfeit money that was only detected after the war.

I'd be very interested in knowing ...Dear Herb,<br /><br />I'd be very interested in knowing more about you. Was looking for some info about counterfeiting done, originally by inmates of Sachsenhausen, who might have been moved to Ebensee. The suggestion came from an internet friend of mine and author, David Israel, whose book, The Day the Thunderbird Cried, you can find on Amazon, along with a Review I wrote about it for both the print and Kindle editions. Hoping this will find you and that you will be in contact. Dachau? Went there first in 1965 as 13 year old Army Brat when dad was stationed there. Dad was a WWII Vet a member of the 45th Division which liberated it. Mom was one of 18 from Straubing, Germany. I've spent many years in Munich where I also got my doctorate in Theology in 1985. Much more that I won't bore you with here. Thank you so much for this Blog which I am looking through. Were you the son of someone working at Dachau in some capacity? Maybe there is more somewhere else here in one of the blog postings.<br /><br />Trust you are well there in NZ. You sound as if you've had a fascinating life and I'm happy for that.<br /><br />Please do consider emailing me at george.garin@gmail.com.<br />peace,<br />The Rev. Dr. George M.
