Default Hitler's Holy Relics

Just finished reading Hitler's Holy Relics (A True Story of Nazi Plunder and the Race to Recover the Crown Jewels of the Holy Roman Empire) by Sidney D. Kirkpatrick (2010).

Interesting read about the effort to recover the imperial crown, globe, scepter and two swords, that were missing from a hoard of looted treasures in a bunker in Nurnberg, after the war ended in Europe. Interesting to read about the Spear of Destiny/the Holy Lance....

At least one mention of a Luger....
