Treasures of the Fourth Reich, “It was one of the greatest crimes of the century... Grand
museums and families lost countless valuables and works of art to Nazi lootings in what has been called "the rape of
Europa." Parker's story begins just outside the Bavarian salt mines as the American and Russian armies are closing
in. Amid the chaos, SS officers scramble to hide ill-gotten treasures that will finance the "Fourth Reich." Only
a precious journal detailing an inventory of treasure caches around the Tirol holds a clue.
