During the final days of World War II, German SS officers crammed trains, cars, and trucks full of gold, currency, and jewels, and headed for the mountains of Austria. Fearful of arrest and determined to keep the stolen loot out of Allied hands, they concealed their treasures and fled. Although most of these men were eventually apprehended, many managed to evade capture. The intensive postwar Allied investigation that followed recovered but a sliver of this mountain of gold. What happened to the rest of it, and what fate befell these men?

Nazi Millionaires: The Allied Search for Hidden SS Gold is based upon thousands of pages of previously unpublished and recently declassified intelligence memorandums, police reports, accountings, letters, diaries, journals, and other related documents. The result is a fresh and absolutely original study offering insights into the minds and methods of these SS thieves, the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) within which they labored, how they achieved their positions of near absolute power, the complex Allied investigation into their activities, and what happened to the vast sums of wealth they looted from occupied Europe.
