Product Information
Gold Run is the true story of arguably one of the greatest gold snatches in history. It is a tale of immense bravery, endurance and great leadership of loyal Norwegians, plus a little good fortune and help from the British against intrigue and overwhelming odds. The German invasion of Norway on the night of April 8th/9th 1940 almost took Norway completely unawares; had it not been for the defiance of one small coastal battery, the Norwegian Royal Family, Government, and nearly 50 tons of gold bullion would have had no chance to escape. In desperate haste the Royal Family fled Oslo by rail, dodging bombs and strafing, eventually reaching the port of Molde which was subsequently devastated by fire bombing. The gold with extraordinary ingenuity was moved by road, rail and fishing boat, hotly pursued by the Germans. Its weight and the need for total secrecy created unique transportation problems. After several instances of near disaster, the Norwegians managed to get the gold to the coast where the Royal Navy came to the rescue. Such was the difficulty of extricating the bullion, it was not possible to load it in one cargo, and it was taken off in three Royal Navy Cruisers, HMS Enterprise, Galatea and Glasgow, from different locations. The ships were attacked in port, then constantly harassed and bombed by the Luftwaffe as they made their way back to the UK. The loss of the bullion was a blow to the Germans. They had gained a country, but lost a King, a government and huge amount of bullion that would have financed their war machine. That loss is directly attributed to a visionary bank chief, a Colonel, a hastily assembled body of Norwegians and the ships and men of the Royal Navy, ever resourceful, brave and loyal to their respective countries. This is their story.

Reads like a thriller, and worthy of Hollywood attention, surely? Robert Pearson's excellent book has everything. A forgotten consequence of the Nazi occupation of Norway., "Pearson covers secret meetings, close calls, fire fights, air raids, sea battles, and more, in a tale that could easily make for a very good motion picture thriller. He also gives us some insights into how Norway managed to steer its way through neutrality during the "Phony War," and adds a quick overview of the country's role in the World War II. This is a very good read for anyone.", Pearson covers secret meetings, close calls, fire fights, air raids, sea battles, and more, in a tale that could easily make for a very good motion picture thriller. He also gives us some insights into how Norway managed to steer its way through neutrality during the "Phony War," and adds a quick overview of the country's role in the World War II. This is a very good read for anyone., Pretty much everything you could ask for in an adventure story, except it is all real, a series of events that actually happened and which did come to what I might describe as a 'happy ending', or a successful one at least.', Pretty much everything you could ask for in an adventure story, except it is all real, a series of events that actually happened and which did come to what I might describe as a 'happy ending', or a successful one at least., Reading like a thriller, it is a very exciting story that has been very well told. It offers a very impressive example of applied intelligence, careful planning, bluff and bravery. A wonderful read., a very fine effort elucidating an important event in World War II that few outside of Norway now remember. Combined with the new exhibits in Oslo, the book is timely and welcome
