The gold was "all" there? Whatever you saw was for public consumption, to serve a reassuring purpose. You, my friend, help perpetuate it to this day. I, and hundreds of active duty personnel and their dependents were eyewitnesses not only of the convoy of US Army deuce-and-a-half trucks loading up at the Gold Vault and transferring it off-base....but also the preparations, which took a couple of weeks. Even base personnel and dependents not witness to it had common knowledge of those preparations and transfer. Either what we witnessed was an extremely elaborate and expensive HOAX, or they transferred the gold. It was also common knowledge that it (the greater portion) was to end up in France. The "why" was, and is speculative.
