Description
by John Tepper Marlin (Translator), Erik Schaap (Author)
Walraven van Hall was born into an old Amsterdam banking family. When Hitler invaded the neutral Netherlands in 1940, Walraven joined the anti-Nazi party. When that was banned, he joined the Resistance. He collected money, then borrowed money, and finally, in desperation, he stole money from the Dutch State Bank, which was under Nazi Occupation control. His largest source of income was from forging Dutch Treasury bills, which were exchanged for real ones in the Dutch State Bank vaults, under Nazi noses. It was the biggest bank fraud in Dutch history. Walraven was betrayed, caught by his Nazi Sicherheitsdienst pursuer for something else, and executed. But the Nazis never figured out how Walraven raised a billion dollars in 2024 money. The full story is told here for the first time, for a non-Dutch English-speaking audience. It is translated and annotated with more than 750 endnotes that explain Dutch terms and historical references. Hilda van Stockum's book about the Dutch Resistance, The Winged Watchman, features Resistance leader Kees Kip. Wally van Hall is the real Kees Kip.
