Jan Skoyles: How one man saved Poland's gold from the Nazis

Section: Daily Dispatches

10:03p ET Wednesday, September 4, 2013

Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

Jan Skoyles of The Real Asset Co. in London today tells a fascinating if brief story of how Poland's gold reserves were whisked out of the country to Britain at the outset of the Nazi invasion in September 1939. Her commentary is headlined "How One Man Saved Poland's Gold from the Nazis" and it's posted at The Real Asset Co.'s Internet site here:

Here's hoping that our friends at the new "Give Our Gold Back" committee in Poland --

-- someday will be able to tell an equally fascinating story about how their most heroic country recovered its gold from a similarly fearsome enemy, the Bank of England.

"Jeszcze Polska nie zginela, kiedy my zyjemy."

CHRIS POWELL, Secretary/Treasurer
Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee Inc.
