Mission Rhinegeld

This is a fictional story of actual events. 1945 - Hitler's armies had spent years looting the treasuries and museums of the countries they had conquered. The Nazi high command, realising that defeat was inevitable, decided to ensure that the looted treasures would not fall into the hands of the rapidly advancing Allies or Soviets and hid the gold and art treasures. The general orders to the men of Mission Rhinegeld were:- To parachute behind enemy lines and seize as much of the Nazi SS stolen loot as they could and bring it back to the UK. They were not to know that amongst their number were two smart and determined enemy agents. Neither would they know that ten years after the mission, the ramifications of what happened and the treachery of one of the German agents in particular, would still be felt. It would be down to Alex Crombie of Military Intelligence to risk his life to sort out the mess.
