I keep reading the word 'Gold' in the thread title, and I keep picturing Clint Eastwood discussing with Telly Sevalas that "there's between 40 and 50 troops in that town."
"All right. How did you figure that?"
"Well, it's of no military importance. It's not big enough for a garrison."
"You still didn't answer the question! How did you figure 40 or 50 men?"
"Because that's the normal amount of support for three Tiger tanks."
So, given the summer of 2000's raucous tidings, there could be...
- Polish National Reserves that have been hidden since the beginning of the war
- a war reserve in gold that belonged to the US 5th Infantry Division, lost when the 5th broke up.
- a war reserve in gold for any of the higher Soviet units (division or army) that have broken up or 'ceased responding to higher authority'
