Germany's war chest swells with gold reserves
American officials estimate Germany's secret war chest, including convertible assets in Denmark and Norway, now exceeds 200 million dollars. Norway and Denmark held significant gold before invasions, with further shipments to the United States and London safeguards. Roosevelt froze Danish and Norwegian assets here to prevent German access. Norwegian holdings here are estimated near 88 million and Danish around 51 million. Germany's earlier seizures of Austria and Czechoslovakia added large gold reserves, while Poland escaped with stores. Germany has shipped minimal gold to the United States since the war began.
