The National Treasury of Norway consisted of 50 tons of gold worth in 1940 (approximately in 1940, or in 2007.) When the German invasion began, the gold was evacuated from Oslo first overland to Åndalsnes and then by ship to Tromsø. From Tromsø, evacuating Allied forces took the last of the gold to Britain. All of the gold arrived safely in Britain despite German ground and air attacks. The gold was ultimately shipped to North America.
