About article:
The study considers questions related to the functioning of the Tripartite Commission
for the Restitution of Gold Reserves created by France, the USA and Great
Britain in 1946. Its role was to verify and distribute the gold reserves of 10 European
countries stolen by Germany during the Second World War. One of the
recipients was Czechoslovakia, which lost more than 45 tons of gold reserves in
1939–1940. The study is directed towards the marathon of talks between the commission
and Czechoslovakia in the period 1947–1952, which finally led to recognition
of the Czechoslovak claim to a share of the gold. However, this was blocked
by pressure from the USA and it was eventually physically returned only in 1982.
