Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From Paris to Stalingrad, the Nazis plundered all manner of art & antiquities. But the first & most valuable treasure they looted were the Crown Jewels of the Holy Roman Empire. This is the true-life Indiana Jones story of a college professor turned Army sleuth who foils a Nazi plot to preserve these symbols of Hitler's Thousand Year Reich.
On t.p., "o" in "holy" appears as swastika symbol.
