THE COUNTERFEITERS (Die Fälscher, original title) by Fredy Rodriguez

When I talk about of my favourite film undoubtedly my mind is transported to the Second War World and all stories that have tried to tell us how people lived that terrible time and make us thinking about atrocities and how absurd is the war, although you can't believe me, the Germans were close to winning the war, they just would have needed to have an American Dollar.  
The Counterfeiters, a German film, was written and directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky and it was based on a memoir written by Adolf Burger, a Jewish Slovak typographer who was friend of Salomon 'Sally' Sorowitsch  called “the king of counterfeiters”. The film starts in a huge and luxurious casino in Monte Carlo, where Sally was betting and betting without any concern, this behavior and a woman made the German police “SS” captured him. then, Sally was taken to a concentration camp, but he was lucky to be enrolled in a secret and ambitious operation called “Operation Bernhard”, it was a plan to destabilize the united kingdom  by flooding its economy with forged notes, to do this, Sally and others prisoners, who have exceptional skill, were in charge to made a replica of each British note. they did a successful work, their money was the same as printed the Bank of England.  Secretly,  they did that the British pound was become in a useless money, because anybody received it, all trade was paid by US Dollar,so, the new German objective was “made a American Dollar”. while, Sally and his Friend realized the terrible mistake that they were done to feed the German Army, so, risking their own lives, sabotaged the operation until they were rescued.
You must watch this film, I’m sure you won’t blink for two hours,This is a masterpiece of German cinema, a jewel of war cinema and an amazing drama worthy of numerous  awards including a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar at the 80th Academy Awards.
