Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Private Schulz is a Mini Series that was made by The BBC in 1981.In Nazi Germany on the eve of World War II, small-time Con Artist Gerhardt Schulz (Michael Elphick) is released from prison to do his bit for the war effort. Using his skill with languages to land what he thinks is a safe, comfortable job in Postal Censorship, Schulz is instead transferred to SS Counterintelligence. Their commander — the fanatical Major Neuheim (Ian Richardson) — is less than impressed, but immediately ropes in Schulz for a mission to abduct two British agents from Holland, where his ability to hot-wire a car gets them out of a very sticky situation.When the nefarious British start air-dropping forged ration coupons over Germany, Major Neuheim suggests to Adolf Hitler that they retaliate with forged British five pound notes. Hitler gives his covert approval, and top forgers are rounded up from prisons and concentration camps all over Germany; including Solly, a Jewish former cellmate of Schulz.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The rest of the six-part series covers Schulz's attempts, both during and after the war, to get his hands on the expertly-forged banknotes, and stay alive in the process. | |

Black-and-Gray Morality | |
| Private Schulz / int_8767b1f3 | comment |
Black-and-Gray Morality: Schultz is more likable than his superiors, but he's not exactly a con artist with a golden heart — he was jailed for bilking poor widows during the depression following World War I. When Schultz encounters people from the Allied powers, they are just as greedy and corrupt as the Nazi characters in the story. | |

Based on a True Story | |
| Private Schulz / int_a90fff3 | comment |
Based on a True Story: Though historical fact is altered for drama and comedy, the series draws on real-life events including: The Venlo incident where two British intelligence officers were abducted from just across the Dutch border. Salon Kitty, a high-class brothel allegedly used by the SS to spy on foreign diplomats and high-ranking Germans. Operation Bernhard, the German plan to forge British five pound notes, involving prisoners at Sachsenhausen concentration camp. Plus the eventual disposal of the notes in Lake Toplitz. The use of the forged banknotes to pay German agents. The British Double Cross counter-intelligence operation, which nearly captures Schulz on his mission to England. | |
