The Ballet of the Paper Bullet

This episode presents an historically authentic drama of secret intelligence in Nazi Germany during World War II. The story is about a Nazi plot to win the war by flooding the free world with counterfeit English and American money. Major Ludwig Gesner conceives the idea and gains the approval of Hitler and Himmler. He selects seven prisoners of war to carry out his plan. They are promised their freedom once they have finished, but they think they will be killed so they delay the project as long as they can. By the time they have finally prepared the counterfeit money, the Americans have liberated their camp.
