This intriguing investigative report disclosed how a prominent U.S. bank raised millions of dollars for Hitler’s Third Reich between 1936 and 1941. The fund-raising campaign was conducted in a clandestine project called the Rueckwanderer Marks Operation. Producer Bar-On and Correspondent Fratangelo spent months probing archives around the world to uncover documents, which had been concealed for more than half a century, describing how Chase National Bank was responsible for this unethical operation.
