Operation Safehaven (1944–48)
Operation Safehaven was an Anglo-American program created in December 1944 to locate German assets in the neutral powers and steer them into "safe havens", generally British or American humanitarian organizations, after World War II.[1] The overall objective of the operation was to create a dissipated distribution of Nazi wealth in order to render any possible post-war resurgence controllable.[2]
