This one is going to sound odd, but that’s because it is.

Economist, author and broadcaster David McWilliams pops into Why Would You Tell Me That? towers and explains the bizarre story of why Hitler wanted to drop money from planes all over the UK. Find out just how far the plan got and what happened to the notes produced.

And to whet your money appetite, the lads look at some of some other financial shenanigans in part 1. Fancy buying a US state for $7 million, anyone?
