Massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane : Nazi gold and the murder of an entire French town by SS Division Das Reich / by Lupiano, Vincent dePaul,author.(CARDINAL)888006;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Das Reich -- The Gold -- Hubris -- Leipzig -- On the Road to Tulle -- Hanging at Tulle -- Ambush -- Diekmann & Lammerding -- Court Marshal -- Bordeaux Trial -- Dresden-Oradour : What was the Difference? -- Fox Face -- Golden Goose -- Zone Franche -- Prison -- The Fox -- Thonon-les-Baines."The massacre at Oradour-sur-Glane on June 10, 1944, is recognized yearly throughout France with the same profundity as the attacks on Pearl Harbor and the Twin Towers in the United States. The Oradour Massacre is taught in school in France and the anniversary is commemorated every year. Today, Oradour is a destination for people interested in one of the most horrific events in French history. Each year, the devastated village attracts over 300,000 visitors worldwide. On June 8, 1944, 15,000 men and 209 tanks and self-propelled guns of the Das Reich 2 Panzer Division rolled out of Montauban in southern France and began an ordered 450-mile march that ended at Normandy more than two weeks later. While in Montauban, a battalion from Das Reich surrounded Oradour-sur-Glane, massacred 642 men, women, and children, and razed the village to the ground. Das Reich became one of the most dreadful legends in the history of France and World War II. This is the story of the Oradour massacre and its real cause: how two SS officers--a general and a major--"acquired" one million dollars' worth of gold ingots while encamped at nearby Montauban, and how that led to the massacre in 1944"--

Cashing out : the flight of Nazi treasure, 1945-1948 / by Lochery, Neill,author.(CARDINAL)419194;

Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction -- Schellenberg -- Camp 020 -- Interrogation -- Stockholm fog -- Donovan versus Menzies -- Operation safehaven -- Collectors -- Victory -- Learning curve -- Bookshops and galleries -- Postwar Lisbon -- On the run -- Gold bars -- Story building -- Return -- Opportunists -- Visitors -- Assassination -- Fate and legacy."When Nazis looked to flee Europe with stolen art, gems, and gold in tow, certain "neutral" 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 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 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. Bestselling author Neill Lochery here brilliantly recounts the flight of the Nazi-looted riches--the last great escape of World War II--and the Allied quest for justice."--
