U.S. soldiers stole Nazi gold that had been looted from Holocaust victims, a German newspaper reported. The Sueddeutsche Zeitung cited a 1950 report by Bavarian police that advancing American troops located the gold near the end of the war and that it subsequently disappeared. The troops arrested and questioned Nazi officers until they found the gold, which had been brought to a hiding place near Munich from the central bank in Berlin, the report said.
