If anyone can find more info on Aktion Feuerland please do post it. Thank you.
The beginnings of Evacuation:
Bormann was nothing if not a cynical realist. With the military disaster of Stalingrad, Bormann and other top Nazi leaders began the quiet though "disorganized" flight of capital from Nazi Germany to safe havens abroad, an operation codenamed Aktion Feuerland, Operation Fireland.
The treasure consisted of millions of reichsmarks, boxes and boxes of gold and platinum, pearls and diamonds: crates full of the priceless art of Europe; and billionaire bundles of stocks and other secirities. The loot was amassed in a series of bank safes and underground vaults throughout the Reich - until Martin Bormann was made aware of its existence by one of his many internal intelligence conduits. In late 1943, he took control of much, though not all, of this booty and informed Hitler of its existence and a plan he had formulated for its conservation.
"Bury your treasure, for you will need it to begin a Fourth Reich," Hitler had responded. With this blessing, Bormann took control of as many as six U-boats, some of them unmarked, from Gross Admiral Karl Doenitz, and garnered the support of Generalissimo Francisco Franco to headquarter the U-boats for the next two years, supplied by cargo planes from Germany that transorted the treasures to the coastal towns on the Atlantic, began a non-stop circuit transporting the treasure to the far southern reaches of Argentina - the region known as Tierra del Fuego, or Land of Fire. At their destinations they were unloaded by Bormann's mysterious minions and deposited into a wide variety of international bank accounts controlled by a cryptic cabal of Bromann partners. This was Operation Fireland.
An escape route through Franco's Nationalist Spain
Reliance upon unmarked or "black" U-boats for the shipments
Deposit of Nazi treasures into "international bank accounts"
Implied Argentine complicity at the other end of the escape route
