THE HESSE CROWN JEWEL HEIST IN WWII GERMANY- A US ARMY SCANDAL
In the aftermath of WWII, the theft of gold, silver, and jewels belonging to the German aristocratic House of Hesse triggered an intensive criminal investigation which resulted in three high-profile courts-martial. . When it was all over, Col. Jack Durant, Major David Watson, and Captain Kathleen Burke Nash were all doing time in jail. It was a huge embarrassment to the US Army at the time, but a symptom of the lawless that raged throughout war-torn Europe in the years following World War II.
