Forgotten Treasure, by Lawrence Tierney
 A Cave Somewhere in the Alps.
In January 1945 a small German convoy carrying English POWs and priceless art treasures heads through Northern Italy towards the Brenner Pass in the Alps. After a ferocious bombing attack from the air, the German survivors hide the treasure in an abandon mine, and protect it with booby traps. No one is certain of the exact location of the mine.
Years later, a lone English POW survivor arranges with friends to find the mine. He is unaware that a group of German gangsters have also become aware of the treasure, without specific knowledge of the mine's location. An exciting book for WWII and adventure buffs. Don't miss this one.
