This is a true story of what really happened to Hitler’s stolen gold when Berlin fell in 1945. As Soviet troops closed in, Nazi officials rushed to empty the Reichsbank vaults—the central hub where looted gold, foreign currency, jewelry, and art from across occupied Europe had been funneled for years. Some of that treasure was sent south to hidden mines and tunnels like Merkers, where U.S. forces later uncovered hundreds of millions in gold bars, coins, and SS loot deep underground.
Yet even after the famous Merkers discovery, huge amounts of Nazi wealth were never fully traced. Gold and assets were moved through secret convoys, burned documents, private accounts, and neutral banks—especially in Switzerland, where later investigations found that wartime German gold and dormant accounts linked to Holocaust victims had been protected for decades. While Berlin starved and the regime collapsed, senior Nazis and well‑connected civilians tried to secure their own escape and fortunes, leaving postwar investigators struggling to untangle what was recovered, what was laundered, and what may still lie hidden.
Drawing on U.S. National Archives files, testimony from Allied soldiers, postwar inquiries into Nazi assets, and research on Swiss banking and restitution battles, this film follows the paper trail of a disappearing fortune. It asks a question that still haunts historians and survivors: after all the mines, vaults, and secret accounts were opened, who really walked away with Hitler’s gold—and how much is still missing?
