Himmler's gold

When four young GIs arrive in Germany near the end of WWII and are placed in charge of a Nazi Prisoner of War camp, they stumble upon a hidden SS Nazi treasure. Since black market and looting is rampant, "to the victor belongs the spoils" is the name of the game, they decide to keep the treasure for themselves, and must match wits with a Nazi SS Colonel and two crooked O.S.S. officers as they try to smuggle the gold into Switzerland.
