OPERATION BERNHARD REPORTS SOUGHT

  Herb Friedman writes: "My good friend Murray Teigh
  Bloom (The Man Who Stole Portugal, etc.) has asked
  me to inquire about two reports on the Operation
  Bernhard WWII forgeries.  They are the Reeves Report
  and the Amstein Report. Apparently they were in the
  U.S. Archives and the Bank of England collection at one
  time, but no longer can be found. Might any of our
  members have one or both of these reports so that Murray
  can do a bit of research?

  I gave Murray the ANA and ANS librarian email addresses
  already.   I do not believe he will find the reports there, and
  that is why I thought our readers might be a better choice.

  I have been working on propaganda notes and forgeries
  myself.  I have two small articles in the current IBNS
  Journal, have another coming up in the next one, and am
  working on one for two issues away.  After a long drought,
  the government has once again taken to using propaganda
  in the form of currency."

  [Mr. Friedman's email address is BertF@webtv.net.
  I've been a fan of Mr. Bloom's writings on counterfeiters for
  many years.  I've read them all cover to cover, and especially
  enjoyed The Man Who Stole Portugal.  It's an unbelievable
  true story which I always hoped would be made into a film
  someday.  -Editor]
