Nobody likes Those Wacky Nazis, but everybody likes gold! During the course of World War II, the Nazis found themselves in possession of a large amount of gold taken/stolen from subjugated (or genocided) peoples, such as their jewelry, any decorations, or sometimes literally from their mouths. Due to the economic situation in Germany just before the war, few other nations were inclined to have faith in their IOUs. So, Germany made many of its large purchases with quantities of gold, transferred to many nations and sometimes in U-boats for secrecy. Unsurprisingly, this has excited a lot of people. Like pirates, Nazi Germany is imagined to have secreted large amounts of gold in hidden places, ripe for the avid adventurer to discover. If you find Nazi Gold, it's unequivocally yours — like finding spare change between couch cushions. Aside from gold, the lost Nazi treasure might also include other valuables pilfered by the Nazis, such as jewelry and priceless works of art. Half-Truth in Television. While discoveries are not unheard of, finders does not mean keepers. The gold still has legal owners somewhere (and considering how the Nazis got some of those valuables, you'd probably be considered one of the ultimate dicks in the universe for not returning it to its pre-Nazi owners or their descendants). On the other hand, there is the possibility that the owners might give you a small reward for doing so (this is rare, but hardly unheard-of, particularly if you went to particular trouble to get it). In the cases of the above-pictured Reichsbank gold bars, however, it would be impossible to ever determine who it originally belonged to before the Nazis stole it and melted it down.note And not all Reichsbank gold bars were made from stolen gold; Germany did already have gold reserves before the Nazis started invading the rest of Europe. A specific sub-trope of Nazi Gold, popular in central and eastern Europe, involves the Amber Room, which was evacuated from Königsberg (now Kaliningrad) and never seen since. It's generally accepted that it was accidentally destroyed when General Rokossovsky's Third Ukrainian Front ground its way through the area in the monumentally bloody East Prussian Campaign of January-April 1945, but the chaotic nature of those times makes it nearly impossible to find conclusive proof of what happened. On a more positive note, Germany and Russia worked together to recreate this room, finishing decades of work in 2003. |

In Uncanny X-Men #161, it is revealed that Magneto stole a vast horde of Nazi gold from Baron Von Strucker that he later used to fund his militant activities. Considering his backstory (Magneto's entire family was murdered in Auschwitz, and he was used as slave labor to transport gas chamber victims to the ovens for disposal), one is tempted to say "good for him". | |

The Monuments Men are charged with recovering Nazi art plunder during the latter stages of World War II in Europe. Ironically for this trope they accidentally stumble across the entire German gold reserve hidden in a mine. This incident indeed happened in Real Life. A massive hoard of Nazi treasure, including the majority, if not all of, the gold and currency reserves of the Reichsbank as well as looted works of art and more grimly looted items such as gold teeth, eyeglasses and personal effects of Holocaust victims, were discovered in a salt mine in Merkers-Kieselback in the center of Germany. Monuments Men gives the idea that Generals Eisenhower, Patton and Montgomery were short-sighted and boorish for posing with the gold bars rather than with The Ghent Altarpiece. However, for all the vast importance of the art to world culture, getting the fact that the Allies had essentially seized Germany's checkbook disseminated to the wider world was more important to winning the war. With no hard currency, the few remaining creditors still willing to support Germany pulled out, turning a grim situation for the Third Reich into a utterly hopeless one. |

A variant occurs in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia where rather than trying to pawn off valuables stolen by the Nazis, the Gang manages to get ahold of artifacts that originally belonged to them that became worthwhile due to historic value. Mac & Dennis try to sell equipment that once belonged to Dennis & Dee's SS grandfather to a local museum, but the curator happens to be Jewish and takes offense, reporting them to the police assuming (correctly) that they obtained it illegally. They then burn the evidence behind the bar. In a later episode they manage to get ahold of a painting made by Hitler himself, which again is burned. | |

A peculiar example comes from White Collar in the form of an amber-covered music box supposedly taken from the Amber Room. This music box has become the backbone of the show's developing Myth Arc. The music box is one of the clues that eventually leads to a sunken Nazi submarine filled with Nazi treasure and stolen art. |

Umineko: When They Cry: Episode 7, Requiem of the Golden Witch, reveals that Kinzo's ten tons of hidden gold is, while not quite Nazi gold, gold that belonged to the Italian Social Republicnote which was basically a Nazi puppet state that was smuggled by U-boat out of Italy before it fell. The impression on the gold bars is not actually the Ushiromiya one-winged eagle crest, but a partially faded imprint of the ISR eagle that Kinzo later adopted as the family symbol. | |

James Bond In the short story "Octopussy", Bond is assigned to apprehend a hero of the Second World War implicated in a murder involving a cache of Nazi gold. Agent 007 appears briefly in this story, which is told mostly in flashback and from the point of view of Major Dexter Smythe, the villain. This story is briefly mentioned in the film version, with the title character being Smythe's daughter. In The Facts of Death, the father of Alfred Hutchinson was suspected of "mislaying" Nazi gold during the end of WWII. These suspicions are confirmed true when it is revealed that Alfred used the goods, with help of a criminal organization, to fund his political career. |

The Mandalorian: Sci-fi variant. A small cell of the Imperial Remnant has almost nothing; they've been reduced to hiding in a small warehouse in the slums, and their once pristine white Stormtrooper armor is dirty and scarred. They do, however, have a large cache of beskar steel, an extremely rare and valuable metal that the Empire stole from the Mandalorians in the Great Purge. They are therefore able to hire quite a few bounty hunters, including the title Mandalorian. Mandalorians are too pragmatic to turn down such a lucrative job, but his tribe is not happy that he is working for the Empire that slaughtered their people and stole their treasures. Just to drive the comparison, each beskar ingot is even stamped with the Imperial logo. | |

A plot point in season 2 of Detectorists. When suspicions are raised about the motives of a German visitor in wanting to excavate the site of a crashed WWII German aeroplane, a normally silent member of the metal detecting club suggests that he might be searching for Nazi gold smuggled out of Germany by the Luftwaffe. This is dismissed by the other members on the grounds that surely everyone knows it's a myth. But she's right - there's no gold at the crash site, but that is what the visitor is looking for. It turns out that he's got a criminal record in Germany for disturbing war graves in his quest. | |

The crew of the Black Lagoon are hired to recover a framed painting (rumored to have been painted by Hitler) from a sunken U-Boat in Die Rückkehr des Adlers. Revy decides to also grab whatever else of value she can take alongside the painting (such as looting an Iron Cross from the U-Boat captain's corpse), which creeps out Rock. They are then ambushed by Neo-Nazis and the painting is stolen from them. Cue the next episode where Dutch and Revy go and exterminate the Neo-Nazis and find out the person (that suspiciously looks like a certain despot) that hired them was testing the Neo-Nazi group over their effectiveness over "inferior opponents," namely the black Dutch, the Jewish Benny, and the Asians Revy and Rock. The painting itself was not actually painted by Hitler, instead, a copy of records of hidden Nazi bank accounts was hidden between the painting and the backing. | |

In March 2008, The Colbert Report picked up a story about Nazi gold possibly being buried in a small town in Germany. It quickly turned into a parody of Indiana Jones/The Da Vinci Code/National Treasure-type plots ("Oh, they laughed at me at the academy!"), culminating with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, armed with a basketball, being sent to wrest the treasure from the hands of the Germans. It Makes Sense in Context. No it doesn't. | |

Gundam: One of Zeon's many allusions to Nazi Germany is paying in gold. This goes back to the original Mobile Suit Gundam, where Char gives his sister Sayla a briefcase full to retire from fighting on the opposite side of a war. Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory has the Delaz Fleet use what are essentially Reichsbank gold bar but with the swastika replaced by the Principality of Zeon crest. | |

There are still expeditions launched every other year to find the Nazi Gold supposedly hidden in Lake Toplitz in the Austrian alps. A reference to this myth is made in Goldfinger. There is a good reason for this. In the 1950s divers discovered over 100 million UK Pounds of face value Five Pound notes in the lake. These bills were intended to be circulated in the UK in an attempt to destabilize the British financial system. When it became obvious that the war was lost, the counterfeit notes were dumped in an attempt to hide the entire scheme's existence. While that particular design of Five Pound note has long since been removed from circulation, the surviving Nazi counterfeit notes are now collectors' items. And legal to own specifically because the design is out of circulation. | |

In Season 3 of Daredevil (2015), Wilson Fisk is determined to get back the painting "Rabbit in a Snowstorm" which was confiscated by the FBI on his arrest. He finds it's been returned to an elderly woman who explains that it was stolen by the Gestapo, who then send her family to a concentration camp. Despite knowing what kind of man Fisk is, she has no intention of returning it. Fisk promises to give up his quest for the painting, but unfortunately an underling who's eager for Fisk's approval takes it anyway and, it's implied, kills the owner in the process. | |

In Cryptonomicon, the modern heroes search for Yamashita's gold, more or less the Far East equivalent of this trope. A smaller cache transferred from the Nazis to their Japanese allies also figures in the plot. The gold recovered from the sunken German submarine also turns out to be the Solomonic gold that much of the plot of The Baroque Cycle revolved around. |

To their surprise, they end up discovering a second plane filled with this. Turns out the fugitive didn't want to die for the Furher, killed the crew and stole both and hid out in Argentina. Since they were also tasked with preventing an Israeli force from getting to him as part of their agreement, they happily followed the agreement... so that the fugitive's angry associates would get to him instead. | |

Leverage featured the Iraq war money in "The Homecoming Job." It was originally believed that it was a simple coverup of a shooting gone wrong but it was later shown to be this. "The Two Live Crew Job" has the Leverage crew stealing a Gustav Klimt painting for their clients, whose family had it stolen by the Nazis in WWII. This is complicated by another crew of thieves who just want to steal the painting for money. And "The Van Gogh Job" has the team finding a lost Van Gogh that was stolen in WWII, then found and smuggled to the United States by an American soldier. The backstory is done as a Whole Episode Flashback. |

Unsolved Mysteries profiled a few of these cases. Among them are: Yamashita's treasure was a stash of gold bars, jewels and a golden Buddha found by amateur treasure hunters in the Phillipines in 1971; these had been left behind by General Tomoyuki Yamashita during the Second World War. The entire treasure was confiscated by Ferdinand Marcos, who had one of the finders brutally tortured until he revealed its location. The Buddha has never been found since the end of Marcos' reign. More details can be read here. The Lunersee Lake Treasure is believed to be a cache of gold hidden by Nazis in a lake in Brand, Austria. It too has never been found. |

Lupin III: "To Be or Nazi Be": The gang is chasing after Hitler's legacy, expecting it to be Nazi gold. It's not. The "legacy" ends up being embarrassing childhood tests and mediocre paintings and sketches by Hitler. "Auntie Ballistic": This time, they're chasing Rommel's hidden treasure. He buried it while fighting against the British forces in Africa. Fujiko's last scene in Lupin III: The First has her motoring off in a speedboat loaded down with treasures she'd looted from the Ahnenerbe base the finale took place in. The Nazi treasure wasn't the point of the adventure, but since it was there to steal, she was hardly going to turn it down. Lupin and his gang end up leaving with nothing. |

Apparently they have a massive hoard of stolen treasure, including a bunch of silver and gold teeth.

Used to varying degrees in the Wolfenstein games: Wolfenstein 3-D allowed the player to collect oodles of gold trinkets to gain points; if they got enough gold, they got an extra life bonus. Return to Castle Wolfensteinincluded collectible gold and other precious things (including some bottles of Saint-Émilion 1938, a great Bordeaux wine) as a nod to its predecessor, but here it was primarily used as an Easter Egg and gave no benefit to the player. Wolfenstein (2009) uses it as currency; exploring levels lets you find gold bars which you can take to the black market to upgrade your weapons. In Wolfenstein: The New Order and its sequels, gold trophies (which are not just Nazi Gold, but also pre-civilisation Jewish gold like a small robot, and even a small gold meteorite) serve as collectibles needed for 100% Completion. |
