You Can Bank On This Being Great

Who knew the West German government kept billions of Deutsch Marks hidden away during the Cold War in case Soviet bloc countries released counterfeit currency? The amazing story is well preserved in this fascinating bunker. Michael, our English speaking guide, was magnificent.
