The Treasure of the Desert Fox

The legendary treasure of General Rommel. A former SS man breaks the silence and tells what happened then. The Nazis offered northern Italian Jews the opportunity to buy their own freedom. Gold collected in this way was stored in the vaults of the Bank of Tunis. They were brought in lead coffins on board a German speedboat and then at the Corsican coast transferred to an old Italian fishing boat. Allied bombers fired the boat, causing it to sink. Thus there near Corsica ended an estimate sixty thousand, six hundred pounds of gold on the seabed.
