“Nazi gold is a phrase that refers to the bullion looted by the Nazis in the run up to and during the Second World War. Gold clearly plays a strong role in history and features as both a political and economic weapon during the Wars of the 20th Century. Upon invasion Nazis would loot a country’s gold reserves, along with other valuable assets, and promptly work to devalue the sovereign currency. This pillage of the financial system is not well known but it served effectively as a weapon in their campaign to take-down whole nations. The Nazis consolidated their power by holding gold whilst their victims were consigned to weak paper currencies.”
