GOLD RUSH: Europe's Wealth Transfer, 1939-1945

Follow with trepidation and fear the ultra-secret flight of European gold to Canada before and at the start of the Second World War to escape seizure by the Nazis. Navigate the English Channel under German bombs and sail across the Atlantic Ocean infested with enemy ships and submarines to reach the port of Halifax, a peaceful sanctuary for storing British currencies, Polish treasures and the gold of most countries in Western Europe before they were illegally captured by Hitler and his accomplices. The largest transfer of wealth in History, an incredible and forgotten story. Not to be missed.
