The Resistance Banker

When banker Walraven van Hall (Barry Atsma) is asked during the Second World War to use his financial connections to support the resistance, he does not hesitate for long. Together with his brother, Gijs van Hall (Jacob Derwig), he devises a risky scheme to secure large loans that can be used to fund the resistance. When that proves insufficient, the brothers orchestrate the greatest bank fraud in Dutch history: tens of millions of guilders are siphoned out of the Dutch Central Bank, right under the noses of the occupying forces. Yet, as the operation grows in scale, more and more people become privy to it. With each passing day, the risk increases that someone might make that one fatal mistake—a mistake that could put an end to both the activities and the lives of these bankers of the resistance.
