Reply to comment by MintyMissterious in TIL about Operation Bernhard. During WWII, Germany attempted to bring about the collapse of the British economy by forging ≈£130 million in British bank notes. The notes are considered among the most perfect counterfeits ever produced, and are very difficult to differentiate from legitimate notes. by rkadeYT

Couldn't likely have happened - hating Jews (and the associated fear that was manufactured in the populace) was fundamental to the Nazi rise to power.

Right. It's just saying that the Nazis could have done better... if they weren't the Nazis. Of course. But if they weren't nationalists/racists/antisemites, then they couldn't have won the war, because they wouldn't have started one.
