Hitler's Gold: Uncovering The Biggest Bank Heist In History


Among the chaos of the collapse of Hitler's empire in April 1945 the biggest heist in history took place. Gold bars, jewels and stolen foreign currency with an estimated worth of $3.34 billion vanished from the Reichsbank vaults, in Germany.

In the ensuing decades small quantities of this bounty have turned up in Portugal, Switzerland, Turkey, Spain and Sweden but the majority remains missing. Across the world search teams look for this missing treasure but after 60 years the bulk of this bounty still hasn't turned up.
So just where is Hitler’s missing gold?
