Polish gold was moved to France, and later Vichy France refused to hand it over to the Germans.
Gold was nice, but if you couldn't buy anything with it (because of the blockade) not that useful.

If my memory is correct, the gold of Estonia was moved to Sweden before the war. And if my memory is correct the Swedish government "returned" the gold to Soviet union after the war as Estonia then was part of SU. Not one of the proudest moment of Sweden.

Best regards

Apparenly for some persons even the coming outbreak of war didnt interfer with the old saying" Business as USUAL" :o 8O :roll: :oops: :milwink: :milwink: Ironically england Gold reserve was apparently depleated to pay for War supplies....and with the loss of the British empire lands ment also a loss of not just territorty {India; Oil reserves in Middle east] but loss of revenue as well....

on a happier note at least the Norway Gold reserves were saved...

I had the amazing fortune to speak to the son of Emil Klein the SS colonel in charge of the SS Pioneer school in Prague , rumoured to have hidden the Czech gold (and kept in jail for 20 yrs by the Czechs) . He never disclosed the truth of the matter despite having a Czech spy insinuated into his prison cell ( this guy subsequently bought the land rights to the area rumoured to have the gold)
His son lives in Australia having left Germany back in 1966.
