Nazi Germany utilized every available resource to fight the Second World War, and one significant weapon in Hitler's economic arsenal was gold - gold looted from the central banks of those European countries which were occupied by the Nazi regime between 1939 and 1942. This book presents the economic history of the Second World War.

In the process we range from the microscopic to the cosmic, from the worlds of literature, science, culture, politics, and religion.
