'Interesting story along these lines; when the Nazis invaded Denmark, two Nobel prizes, the physical gold medals themselves, had been sent from Germany to Niels Bohr for safekeeping, those of Max von Laue and James Franck. Removing gold from Germany was a crime, and Bohr was stuck with the evidence. A chemist Georgy de Heves, dissolved them in aqua regia, just as in the video, and stored the orange fluid on a shelf. After the war, he precipitated the gold back to solid form, and the Nobel Committee recast and represented the medals.'"
