Blood & Gold (2023)
If you know your history !
This is a story based on an atrocity on 10th June 1944, when a German SS unit surrounded the town of Oradour-Sur-Glane and massacred 643 civilians.
The streets, The Church, The gold. The official story of Oradour wont tell this, But dig deeper and the truth is there. I've read the reviews hoping to find a similar review, But sadly the true story isn't that well known. The gold was hidden by a French resistance soldier FFI , It was taken from a German Truck and buried in the forest. The german Officer wanted his gold back. So... You have the story of Oradour. Its sad how the victors write the history.
The film itself is entertaining, Predictable, But not in anyway meant to be a serious attempt.

Lifetime quest
I was born in the year this was made. Bought up with the film. Watch it every year.
This year I decided I was going to find and then visit the location of the end bank scene. Beautiful Croatia. I rode from my home in London. Worth every mile.
