In July 1942, following changes in the aim of the plan, Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler revived the operation.[36] Whereas the original plan was to bring about the collapse of the British economy through dropping the notes over the UK, Himmler's new intention was to use the counterfeit money to finance German intelligence operations.[37][38] The security services under Himmler's control were poorly funded, and the counterfeit funds were used to cover the financial shortfalls in revenue from the Reichsbank.[39]
