There is historical precedent, during WW2, the gold reserves of several countries that fell to the Nazis was evacuated to the UK and the US stored until the end of the war. Some countries left their reserves in the hands of international banks, based in NYC.

Would Germany "pay" the U.S. for its support, extremely doubtful. Would Germany "pay" for military supplies, then yes. Would Germany ship its reserves to the UK/US for safekeeping that depends on how well a Soviet conter-offensivd(s) do.

It's a possibility, but the logistical/security issues of moving 3,000 tons of gold, especially with the threats of sabotage, Spetsnaz raids, not to mention anyone who finds out about the shipment....This would be one hell of a game!
