Summary

This true story revolves around the Nazi invasion of Norway and $9 million worth of gold bullion, which must be protected from the invaders at all costs — it has to be shipped to America for safe keeping. In fact, the crafty Norwegian resistance managed to smuggle out every gold brick on the ship “Bomma,” which safely docked in Baltimore on June 28, 1940. When the police escort to the bank asked the captain how they managed to pull it off, he said that Norwegian children had transported the gold bars hidden on their sleds, right under the noses of the German sentries and buried them in the snow on the beach. These dropsites were marked by a snowman to be picked up by the crew of the Bomma the next day.My website: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-catholic-men-s-podcast--6075123Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090924548838Check out the YouTube channel, if you want: https://www.youtube.com/@catholicmenspodcast
