Good afternoon, dear readers. We continue to talk about the most interesting and mysterious treasures in the world. And today we will tell you about the mystery of the treasure train that the Nazis sent to Poland, but never met him there.
Two groups that searched for the missing Nazi train loaded with gold more than 70 years ago have provided mixed reports several times over whether it has been found.
A few years ago, a team of treasure hunters who initially claimed to have found traces of a train in a tunnel in Poland reaffirmed their position at a press conference.
“We have a train and a short tunnel,” said Piotr Koper.
However, the team of scientists from the University of Cravavo was different. “We may have a tunnel, but there is no train,” one scientist told reporters.
Both teams used radar and the scientists used additional equipment.
The train is believed to have disappeared in 1945 at the end of World War II. The train left Wrocław, which was then part of Germany, in the direction of Walbrzych, but never reached its destination.
The train is believed to be in one of the many railway tunnels built in the Wallachian region during the war and subsequently sealed off.
Treasure hunters are demanding 10% of the value of the gold, which could be worth more than $1 million, according to Polish authorities.
However, the tempting monetary reward also comes with risks, as the train cannot be loaded with gold alone.
The train may have undamaged bombs on it, authorities say, and if it is in an underground tunnel, methane buildup could pose an additional risk of explosion.
These are the secrets that shrouded the treasures of the Third Reich, and who knows if there is something in one of the tunnels or is it just a legend.
