From Hachette:

When Nazis looked to flee Europe with stolen art, gems, and gold in tow, certain 鈥渘eutral鈥 countries were all too willing to assist them.

By the end of January 1945, it was clear to Germany that the war was lost. The Third Reich was in freefall, and its leaders, apart from those clustered around Hitler in his Berlin bunker, sought to abscond before they were besieged. But they wanted to take their wealth with them.

Their escape routes were diverse: Sweden and Switzerland boasted proximity, banking, and industrial closeness, while Spain and Portugal offered听an inviting Atlantic coastline and shipping routes to South America. And in various ways, each of these so-called neutral nations welcomed the Nazi escapees, along with the clandestine wealth they carried.

Cashing Out听tells the riveting history of the race to intercept the stolen assets before they disappeared, and before the will to punish Germany was replaced by the political considerations of the fast-approaching Cold War.听Bestselling author Neill Lochery here brilliantly recounts the flight of the Nazi-looted riches鈥攖he last great escape of World War II鈥攁nd the Allied quest for justice.
