wow

   Two people claim to have found the armoured train in district of Walbrzych
   Local tales say the train was packed with gems and guns by Nazis in 1945
   Nazis are said to have sent it south-west to hide loot from the Red Army
   But it was never seen again - with legend saying it got caught in a tunnel

Great story. It will be good to see the outcome of this one. If they can strike a deal and whether others can lay claim to the loot also - original owners families ( traceable art, jewellery  etc).

Kind of odd no news updates for a couple of days don't you think?? The story was written on the 19th and here it is the 22nd already..

[vobbnobb]

And weeks later story still gets odder

Almost a year later story is still getting beaten around

If I'm not mistaken any Gold that is Marked with a Country's symbol/name is Always their Gold.
Regardless of the time it was lost.

[platoon_michael]

I wonder where the Gold the US sent to Russia went when a German U-Boat sank the ship full of Gold?

Its the Oak Island treasure!

There probably is still a lot of gold, paintings, art, etc. still hidden away somewhere from World War 2. In Swiss bank vaults etc.

100% certainty people are still hoarding loot from WW2 from both sides.   Amber Room jewels are the biggest mystery.  I'm guessing the Swiss have a lot in their bank vaults.  Plus they speak German.

Fingers crossed this story turns gold.

Gold ! well in Egypt

They found another sarcoficos of a King

But instead of it being GOLD it had chocolate & almonds on it...

Turned out to be....

Hello:

Here is a topic in axishistory forum, with daily updates from a forumite in Poland:

Assuming it took at least a team of 20 Germans to bury a loot train, odds are highly likely at least 1 survived the war.  He would have certainly travelled east to Poland to reclaim the loot.  Although the Cold War and long-time Soviet occupation would have made that kind of difficult.  And maybe too old to travel back after the Cold War ended.

The link to axis history was a dud.... try this one...

My guess is that the vast majority of loot and war treasures were picked through clean by Red Army and in the West by US.  As I recall US forces in Southern Germany did re-capture large stockpiles.  You know there must be quite a few Russian and American families secretly hoarding treasure troves.

What about the Swiss hoarding it? You always hear about Swiss for chocolate and GOLD. The Soviets were certainly down that way and into Austria and the wars end. How far down did the US army go?

[Bungarra]

Its all over for a while.....

I can say being a driller that they must be terribly short of funding.... 20 X 22 metre holes I would eat up in a day

Mobilisation to & from site say $5000.00 US... One day drilling $10,000.00

Being so far into this saga, you would wonder why they would stop without spending this small amount of money in the scheme of things..

You would think there would be too much to gain... They have everyone together on site...

Maybe they were clutching at straws all along...
