I cannot comment about claims in the 1960 book. As I have not read the book.However I have Archival documents from Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and GCHQ, and its functions include gathering intelligence, working with law enforcement, and providing protective security advice. I have records from OSS. Before the CIA, the United States had a unified intelligence agency called the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which was established during World War II. After the OSS was disbanded in 1945, its functions were initially split between the State and War departments, leading to the creation of a temporary precursor agency called the Central Intelligence Group (CIG), before the CIA was formally established by the National Security Act of 1947. That an I had been in contact with ex high ranking Ustasha regime descendants.
While there is no record of the National Bank of Croatia in Zagreb being "robbed" in the typical sense during WWII, the bank and its assets were certainly looted and taken over by the Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia (NDH), and then subsequently by the Germans and others. The Ustasha regime seized the bank's assets and used them to form a treasury, a portion of which included gold looted from victims of ethnic cleansing. Takeover by the Ustasha regime: When the Independent State of Croatia was established in 1941, it took control of the National Bank of Yugoslavia's Zagreb branch and its assets, renaming it the Croatian State Bank (CSB ) Here is the bank in the 1940's below.
Looting of assets: The Ustasha regime used the bank's resources to create a treasury that contained gold, much of which was plundered from the victims of their ethnic cleansing campaigns. Much of the Gold was converted into gold coin. Ustasha gold coins" refers to gold coins, part of a larger treasury, that were stolen by the fascist Ustasha regime during World War II from victims of ethnic cleansing in the Independent State of Croatia.
After the war, this plundered gold was reportedly hidden or laundered, with some U.S. intelligence reports from the time estimating the value of the treasury at over $80 million in 1940s/1950s US dollars. Today the very bank still exists below.
I have all the documents won in a court case to get access to files. pertaining to this case giving to me by the lawyer who attempted sue the Vatican bank for laundering Croatian gold through the Vatican for in turn hiding war criminals fleeing along the rat lines lines with gold and loot to South America.
I also have British intelligence documents in regards to the looting of Ustasha regime collapsed. I am not sure of the story of Peter Fleig' was some conflation of or misreporting about him being connected to those later events in 1945. However i have very credible information I also have inside information from descendant of person that hid 6 Gerry cans full of gold coins as the Ustasha regime collapse from advancing communists partisan forces of general Tito. The treasury was evacuated by the Ustasha regime in 1945 as the regime disintegration.
While the story of Rommels gold was never directly connected to Rommel. Ustuasha gold money was not looted until 1945. There was no possibility as per story of dumping gold from Italy in 1943 to connected to Ustuasha regime. Fuel was in short supply and much of the column made it Austrian border where British sized funds. Others made it to Swiss banks and others made it to Italy. Where some of it ended up in Argentina via the ratline and through money laundering of the Vatican bank.. you can see below from military intelligence file of precursor to what is now the CIA.
There are things I can say and other things I am bound by non disclosure agreement as possible legal implications or worse a fatal accident. I was investigated by the present Croatian government because of my dealings with a powerful influential family in Serbia that had historic connections to Ustuasha Regime. I got told in no uncertain terms what would happen to me if I mention the family connected.
The problem is even if you officially discover no country wants to touch it. As it is a legal hand grenade with the pin out as any of this gold it will be contentious treasure as it will be claimed over and haggled over in courts for years.
My apologies Lucaromano we have digressed away a little from the treasure map In Tunisia.
Tunisia's claim to stolen WW2 gold relates to two main issues: the alleged looting of gold by German forces, including Nazi General Rommel, The first issue stems from claims that gold was looted from the Jewish community in Tunisia, Nothing has been mentioned about the alleged seven tons of gold reported in 1943 stolen by the Nazis of Moncef Bey leader from 19 June 1942 – 14 May 1943 and his predecessor Ahmad II of Tunis leader from 13 February 1929 – 19 June 1942.
So perhaps if your map is real is related to the above. So you nee to research in context to where the Germans was stationed at the time of map in 1942. Look for any landmarks that might help identify the location.
The above maps may help confirm the context where the Nazis was in 1942 in the context of your alleged treasure map.
