Not just Nazi gold-the search goes on
The search for the Nazi loot continues today. While gold and artwork are the top prizes, periodically other loot is found in unusual places. In 2017 in a suburb of Buenos Aires, police found over 75 Nazi artifacts in a passage behind a bookshelf. To date it is said to be the largest collection of Nazi loot found in the country. Some of the findings were a bust of Hitler, knifes with Nazi markings and a medical device used to measure the human head. The Nazis were very interested in studying proportions of the human body using the measurements to prove Aryan superiority.
Book Excerpt
The Hunt for Raubgold
In her mind, she saw a map of Germany. Hamburg was where the Elbe River flowed into the North Sea. Toward the end of World War II, that route would have been too dangerous. The Allies were waiting for any ship coming out of Germany.
North of Berlin was the Baltic Sea. True, the ship or the submarine would have to circle Denmark, but once the ship was in the North Sea, it would be looking at the North Atlantic, a body of water large enough to provide an escape route.
Why do I think ships?
The reason was obvious. Gold bullion was heavy, which meant they had to use ships for transportation out of Europe.
No other way seems viable.
To her, using ships was a no-brainer because of the weight of the bullion. No other means except water could transport such a heavy load out of Germany.
