Ah.. but you forget Steel... German high quality steel from before 1945. The most sought after steel resource in the world. Crucial to space programs as it contains little to no radioactivity. Also the steel from the old German navy is the only steel plates that they use with confidence of not breaking or warping during road work, to cover road holes for traffic to drive on. If you have a Tirpitz type ship lying in your back yard, you'll be rich.
