Valued at $16 million, 14,000 gold bars equals about $1,143 per bar. At the then-current price of $35 per troy ounce, the bars would have had to weigh only 32.6 ounces each, probably a gross understatement, even though the bars are clearly much smaller than the standard "Fort Knox" size. However, even assuming the weight is correct, 14,000 bars would weigh almost sixteen tons (not counting boxes, men, and equipment), well beyond the capacity of the truck they were using. Then again, 14,000 bars, at only twelve to a box, would require over 1,100 boxes, seemingly a lot more than is in the pile. So maybe German Colonel Dankhopf (David Hurst) was wrong.
