Answer 2

A great deal of national gold reserves of conquered countries, i.e. Belgium, Dutch, Norwegian, French, etc. escaped the Nazis (whose economy relied on massive theft from freshly conquered countries as Adam Tooze realized in “Wages of Destruction”.) That was stored in the vaults of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank in New York and some remains there today. The gold reserves of Central European nations and major banks all over were sucked into the financial maw of the Nazi regime.
