Operation Wahrung

During the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, Operation Währung ("Currency" in German) was a special operation conducted as part of the Wacht am Rhein.

A small number of German agents infiltrated Allied lines in American uniforms. These agents then used an existing Nazi intelligence network to attempt to bribe rail and port workers to disrupt Allied supply operations.

This operation failed miserably. See Operation Greif.
