Devisenschutzkommando

The Devisenschutzkommando, or the DSK, was a Nazi special looting unit of handpicked SS soldiers which operated in Belgium, France and the Netherlands. The unit was set up during World War II. They were charged with locating and acquiring Jewish gold for the Nazis, using violence and torture in the process. The unit was led by a Staffeldt and his deputy called Hartmann. The organization was supported by a dozen French collaborators known as Vertrauensmann, which means confidential agent in German.
