Flight of the Norwegian National Treasury
The National Treasury of Norway consisted of 50 tons of gold worth in 1940 (approximately in 1940, or in 2015.)
When the German invasion began, the gold was evacuated from Oslo first overland to Åndalsnes and then by ship to Tromsø. From Tromsø, evacuating Allied forces took the cargo of gold to Britain. The gold arrived safely in Britain despite German ground and air attacks. It was ultimately shipped to North America.
== Evacuation from Oslo ==
The gold was stored in the main vault of the Norges Bank's headquarters in Oslo. During the increasing tension of the 1930s, plans were made to make the gold more mobile. When the Second World War broke out, these plans were accelerated and the gold was packed into 818 crates of 40 kg, 685 crates of 25 kg and 39 barrels of gold coins, weighing 80 kg each: a total of 53 tons.
When news reached the government in the early hours of 9 April 1940 that the patrol boat ''Pol III'' had been attacked and that enemy ships were approaching Oslo, orders went out to evacuate the gold to the vault in Lillehammer.〔Norway 1940, François Kersaudy, University of Nebraska Press 1998, ISBN 0-8032-7787-3〕 Heavies from local businesses were used to load the gold onto 26 civilian lorries. The last lorries left Oslo hours before the Wehrmacht arrived.
