On March 22, 1945, General Patton's Third Army charged through the Rhine, making a beeline for the heart of Germany. They swept northeast, breaking through the Soviet Zone, eyes set on Gotha. But fate had other plans, diverting them unexpectedly to Merkers.
A few weeks later, the 358th Infantry Regiment's Third Battalion seized the village, unknowingly stumbling upon a revelation. Whispers circulated about hidden Reichsbank gold in the Kaiseroda potassium mine.
On April 5, rumors from displaced Germans reached the intelligence units. The race was on as troops ventured into the mine's depths. Behind a closed vault lay what possibly was the most splendid treasure ever amassed. The war was coming to an end, but the dark truth about the riches hidden in the deep mine were just coming out into the light…

The work by U.S. Army Signal Corps to capture film records of these events is (1) priceless, and (2) probably unprecedented. How many times have towns, cities and even countries been sacked with no record kept? Abuses happened, but this is a singular example of accountability.

I seem to recall Eisenhauer may have had a lot to do with that, including the exhaustive photo and film evidence concerning the concentration camps. Something about, "If we don't record this for history, there will be those who will say it never happened.", or words to that effect. Eisenhauer also warned about the "military industrial complex" prior to becoming President. He was a wise man.

@douglasmesina6922 , as late as the Napoleanic Wars, a primary motivator of French soldiers was the implied license to loot areas they captured. Apparently, senior leaders who did so came in for more scrutiny, at least based on popular, non-scholarly history resources I've found.

@nathantoney.1501 Yeah, I could tell that about my grandfather, too. He never talked about any of his escapades, but I didn't realize it until after he died. My mom and aunts were going through his ribbons and medals, and my mom said this was for that, and I said, "He told ma about that." So I spent the next bit reciting tales. Like one where he laid in a cratered apple orchard, looking uphill into a church steeple sometime after Normandy. One helmet bobbed in front of the tall, slender bell tower opening, and he knocked the helmet off. He heard it banging down the stairwell. The next thing that crossed the opening wasn't so lucky. He followed Patton from the 3rd in Africa to the 7th. My grandfather and his spotter were one of Patton's two favorite teams, so they got special projects.

I was stationed in Germany in 1990-1996 and went to the camps, they had pictures of the shoes in train cars and in a massive warehouse that was the most horrible thing I have ever seen. That was before you went into the camp. After that I have no words to describe how evil these people were. Unfortunately we are seeing history repeating again and it’s very similar to what was done in 1935.

I posted a reply to a post that I feel needs to be echoed. Some may read the responses and feel the only people fighting were Americans. It took the USA some time to join the war, and the British, French, and others were already fighting a desperate conflict. When D Day came, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders and many others were there. Relatives of mine (British) are buried in Cemeteries in distant places too. They fought and died side by side, this wasn’t just an American fight

The Soviets did steal more than this from the countries they occupied and looted, countries like Finland, Tanu Tuva, Estonia, Letonia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Cehia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Austria, Germany, Mongolia, Manchiuria, Afghanistan, Georgia and Ukraine.

My grandparents' gold could be in there. Here's the craziest part: a large amount of the gold Germans stole is by now in the teeth fillings of other people, both living and dead, in electronics, jewelry, and other objects around the world. It could have come from the purchases and plunder of thousands of people and places across thousands of years. If gold could talk, the stories...

Gold is the only substance that is not destroyed by mass crematoriums. How much of that gold came from prisoners’ teeth? Unfortunately, “Germany was the dress rehearsal for the United States.” (11/5/24) Those who fail to learn from history are bound to repeat it.”

While the Russians were dying around Berlin, you were chasing German gold. You probably haven't found all the gold in Germany because you're still there.

What a dumb comment. You're acting like all of the troops stopped fighting to deal with this situation. We are at least transparent. If the soviets had found this, nobody would've gotten anything back.

Cannot remember the book ("Guns at Last Light", Atkinson? Maybe "Monuments Men"?), but Patton, Bradley and Ike walk into a bar... Sorry: They all three ride a rickety, rope-suspended elevator to the bottom of the salt mine, and Patton, on the way down, jokes that 'if that rope breaks, the US army will see many promotions tomorrow morning.' Ike was not amused.
