Private Schulz is a six-part 1981 television comedy-drama serial written by Jack Pulman and produced for BBC Two. It stars Michael Elphick in the title role, with Ian Richardson, Tony Caunter, Billie Whitelaw, Billy Murray, and Mark Wingett. Set primarily in Germany, during and immediately following World War II, fraudster and petty criminal Gerhard Schulz is forced to serve in the SS. In a story based on the real, though unrealised, plot by the Germans known as Operation Bernhard, Schulz tricks the Nazis into making counterfeit British £5 notes, millions of which will be used to destroy the British economy.

In a story based on the real, though unrealised, plot by the Germans known as Operation Bernhard, Schulz tricks the Nazis into making counterfeit British £5 notes, millions of which will be used to destroy the British economy.
Schulz, doing time for fraud in Spandau prison, gets released in 1939 but once war breaks out he finds himself mistakenly recruited into SS Counterintelligence.
Schulz's forgery talents are put to use in creating counterfeit British banknotes which the Germans hope will bankrupt the British economy.
In May of 1940, Schulz parachutes into Great Britain with 2 million pounds in counterfeit currency, which he is supposed to spend in an attempt to undermine the British economy.
Schulz once again comes under the command of Major Neuheim but this bad news is offset when he gets a chance at one million pounds.
After serving two years in a military prison, Schulz gets reunited with his old gang of forgers just in time for the end of the war.
After the war ends Schulz finds himself destitute but then he discovers and old map which might hold the key to a fortune.
