Summary

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the wildest stories in the book, involving none other than Adolf Hitler. Can you imagine money falling from the sky? That's what Hitler had planned—he wanted to defeat Britain by literally dropping millions of counterfeit pounds across the country. He believed that if he could flood the British economy with fake money, he could induce a Weimar-style hyperinflation and collapse the British war effort. It’s a story of forgeries, secret concentration camp operations, and a plot to cripple an entire nation with counterfeit cash.

Want to know how this insane plan almost worked? Well, grab your copy of Money: A Story of Humanity, and find out. Trust us, it’s not just about Hitler, there’s so much more—stories of people, civilizations, and how money shaped the world we live in today.
