Not all Nazis were convinced the war would end with a victory, especially after the failure to capture Stalingrad in 1943. It was then that the SS and army officers moved money out of Germany and into Swiss bank accounts. The Swiss banks transferred their money to South America. How much was sent to South America . . . no one seemed to know.
Marton’s father, working for Count Lliessle in Switzerland, assisted the Nazis in making bank transfers of illegal funds look legitimate. Unfortunately for the Nazis, the war ended rapidly, leaving most of the gold in Germany.
