In 1940, by land, sea, and air, across Europe and Africa, a commando unit composed of a Free France officer, a Royal Marine, an alcoholic mechanic, and an Ivorian separatist is doing everything it can to stop the Nazis from getting their hands on the gold reserves of the National Bank of Belgium. From Brussels to Dakar, from London to Wiesbaden, and from Churchill to de Gaulle, everyone is after the fabulous treasure: 220 tons of pure gold bars... Based on a true story.

An interesting graphic novel about a real-life event, the moving of gold from Europe's central banks during WWII, to protect it from the Nazis. The story was interesting and the artwork was ok, but this is very much in the style of old comic books, with the same sensibilities, although there was some slight concession to modernity with respect to race. Ends on a cliffhanger, which made me that much more indifferent to it. Thank you to Europe Comics and to Netgalley for making this ARC available to me.
