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.
