Connery and irradiate the vast US gold reserves within Fort
Knox in the spectacular 1964 James Bond film GOLDFINGER.
Frobe Received much grief throughout his postwar career for having
been a member of the Nazi Party before 1945, although it was
revealed that Gert Frobe was (paradoxically) involved in hiding
German Jews from the Gestapo.
