In May 1942, HMS Edinburgh - one of the Royal Navy's mot advanced cruisers - sank to the bottom of the Arctic Ocean. On board was one of the strangest cargos of the Second World War: Millions of pounds worth of Soviet Gold. It would be decades before the Edinburgh's wreck would be found and from her discovery, a remarkable heist of the lost soviet gold would begin.
