In chapter 2 the scenario around the British pound is described. Macroeconomic variables are provided as well as a short introduction to the ERM. The theory of speculative attacks regarding the impossible trinity is applied to the British pound and a historical review of the crisis itself is given. In chapter 3 the question "Why did the British pound crisis represent a classical one-way-bet scenario?" is anwered. Chapter 4 deals with the perspective of the German central bank. Additional data, why speculants such as George Soros could be so confident about the German reluctance to support the British pound are provided. In chapter 5 a description of the investment strategy of George Soros can be found as well as the downside risk related to this strategy.
