Kelly's Heroes — France
Rogue American soldiers behind enemy lines attempt to rob a German-held bank of gold bars. Alsace area, 1944.
Nazi Germany looted an estimated $600 million in gold from occupied countries, most of which was stored in the Reichsbank and distributed to German-held vaults across Europe. After the war, Allied forces recovered massive quantities of looted gold — including 100 tonnes found in a salt mine.
