I am looking for the title of a book from perhaps 10-12 years ago.
It dealt with the theft and disappearance of Nazi plundered and recovered loot at the end of the war.
I believe the author was either American or British. he had done extensive research.
The book was 9x6 hardcover and seems it had a white background dust jacket with either black or red lettering.
I think I ordered this book through Military Book Club but I could be wrong.
It was about 200 pages or so, had some black and white photos.
It had chapters about Merkers, a painting that disappeared from the office of General Patch that was never recovered and the search for it. It also had either the complete story or a mention of a train of gold that disappeared at the end of the war that has never been found. It also had the story of a husband/wife team that were courts martialed for theft for stealing jewels from the Hapsburg family.
It also had an appendix of many items/events pertaining to gold, currency and art that are missing.
Can anyone help me either come up with a title of the book or the author's name?
It is appreciated in advance.
Thank you!
