   in post-war transactions that included gold potentially commingled with assets

   Bank of Canada later    
   participated in efforts to identify and restitute these assets.

   > Wartime Gold Storage: During World War II, under "Operation Fish,"   
   significant amounts of British and other European nations' gold reserves were   
   securely moved to Canada for safekeeping from the Nazis. This gold was   
   legitimate monetary reserves, not    
   looted property.   
   > Post-War Commingling: After the war, a large cache of gold discovered by the   
   Allies was managed by the Tripartite Gold Commission (TGC) for restitution to   
   the central banks of occupied countries. This recovered gold included both   
   monetary gold and a    
   certain amount of "non-monetary gold" (personal effects, jewelry, and dental   
   gold) that the Nazis had systematically plundered from individuals, including   
   Holocaust victims, and melted into standard bars to disguise its origins.   
   > Bank of Canada's Role: Documents declassified in the 1990s revealed that the   
   Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York facilitated the   
   transfer of some of this commingled gold from Switzerland to Portugal in   
   "paper transfers" during the    
   war, potentially aiding the Nazi war effort by allowing neutral countries to   
   trade with Germany. After the war, the Bank of Canada held some of the   
   commingled gold for the TGC.
