The Marshal Plan funds the USA provided Europe for reconstruction totaled over $13 billion, and that's in 1940's dollars.
So Americans looting a few million dollars worth of Nazi Gold from Europe is hardly even worth mentioning when you see this bigger picture.
That's my opinion anyway. I wonder if any of the Nazi gold is still in its original form. It's probably been melted down by now I bet.
