The film turned out to be good, probably not great, but good, it's definitely worth watching at least once. Of course, the impact of the fact that the dollar was not produced on the whole situation was poorly disclosed. There was a feeling that Burger just doesn't want to do it out of some kind of harmfulness, because he has such principles. But in fact, this is one of the moments that greatly influenced the outcome of the war. Only this became known at the end of the film, which made up a false impression about the Burger.

And how amazing is it that there are people like Solomon who know literally everything about reproducing bills and documents. As I understand it, he was just an ordinary man who fell into counterfeiting by a combination of life circumstances. Of course, yes, at that time banknotes were not as complicated as they are today, when there are a lot of watermarks, some other inserts and all this is problematic to reproduce, but still, having such knowledge is to some extent worthy of respect.

What a strong impression is made by the moment when the Jewish prisoners break down the wall. Because one side is prisoners and the other is too. But what a contrast. Some were exhausted to the point of horror, and the second were first confused with the Germans, because they looked too good for prisoners. And the realization that a relatively normal life was banal at one board, it seems to me, could greatly break the prisoners who were being used to wear out.

The plot is static, it looked so hard.
