Re: German WW2 uranium found in Holland
When Belgium was overrun Nazi Germany captured 3,500 tonnes of uranium oxide from mines in the Belgian Congo. It was stored at salt mines in Strassfurt. By 1945 the Allies recovered only 1,100 tonnes of that Belgian uranium, but 2,370 tonnes remains unaccounted for to this day.
In the years immediately after the war there was a significant black market in stolen Uranium and Radium across Europe.
