At
the beginning of 1945 it was clear that Germany had been losing the war.
The task was to save as much as possible of the inheritance of the Third
Reich for future generations and the possibility to revive its ideas long
after the lost war. Concerning the financial security of the project –
even the security of the idea supporters – an air-bridge
was created to the South America, where the majority of Nazi VIP wanted to
go. The
Gestapo commander Heinrich Müller and the Secretary of Hitler Martin
Borman organized transport of the Third Reich treasure, mainly to
Argentina. Otto Skorzeny provided the transports. The last large delivery
that was supposed to leave Berlin and via Madrid continue to Argentina at
the very end of the War and comprised 540 boxes. The content of the boxes
is known only approximately. They probably included the Reich gold, objets
d’art stolen in occupied countries mainly by Göring, stocks and shares,
German bank notes and foreign currency and even some secret documents of
military research from the Institute of Emperor William. According to some
theories this delivery may have included also the Amber Chamber or
passwords for the bank accounts of nazi commanders in the Swiss banks. With regard to the fast advance of the War the appropriate time for the delivery passed and the nazis had to find an alternative. The legend was born. |
