I was watching the World War 2 gold heist Kelly's Heroes and I was curious if there are any real life examples of soldiers in the world wars who got away with treasure. Obviously, looting was rampant throughout the war but I was looking for a soldier who basically won the lottery because of something he found during the war.
This older answer of mine discusses looting extensively, and includes a few examples here of soldiers who were valuable artworks which soldiers were believed to have taken, and investigated for.
