The story about the Gold Transport 1

In Norges Bank in Oslo, Norway's gold reserves consisted of 3000 gold bars and 39 barrels of gold coins. The gold reserves had a book value of 240 million kroner in 1940, roughly equivalent to 7.8 billion kroner today, and this could not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Nazis. Early in the morning of April 9, 1940, the gold reserves were secretly loaded onto 25 trucks. As soon as they were fully loaded, the trucks drove north toward Lillehammer. The last truck set off just as German soldiers were marching up Karl Johans Gate, only a few meters from the bank. In Lillehammer, the gold was transferred from trucks to the train, and with the entire gold reserves on board, the journey continued toward Romsdalen and Åndalsnes. With bombers circling overhead, the train stopped in Stavem Switchback Tunnel to wait for darkness.
