Discover the gripping, untold tale of Norway's daring mission to safeguard its gold reserve from the clutches of the Nazis during World War II.
WW2 Saving Norway's Gold is a documentary series that recounts the incredible true story of how Norway, under Nazi invasion in April 1940, managed to safeguard 49 tons of gold from falling into enemy hands. Through a blend of archival material, interviews, and subtle re-enactments, the series focuses on the courageous men who orchestrated this covert operation.
As German forces advanced, the Norwegian government secretly transported the gold north by truck, navigating a series of challenges—including a forgotten vault code and relentless enemy pursuit. With 33 tons successfully smuggled aboard British cruisers, the series details the final, critical push to secure the remaining 17 tons amid the chaos of war.
