The secret organisation of the 'Golden Lily'
The intriguing World War II mystery that is commonly referred to as Yamashita's Gold.
It was claimed that the Japanese authorities in conjunction with yakuza gangsters, allegedly looted a vast amount of valuables on a massive scale from the then occupied territories towards the end of the war.
It was intended for this loot to fund the Japanese war effort.
Imperial Japan’s own gold reserves had shrunk dramatically paying for its military.
