Къде се крие нацисткият влак, пълен със съкровища

Polish military experts are due to explore the area in which a World War II-era train is believed to be buried, near Walbrzych later on Friday. The area, blocked off to the public, was seen surrounded by journalists and camera crews as units of the Polish Army stood on a train track near the site of the alleged Nazi “gold train." The military is arriving with technical equipment to search for the rolling stock. Polish Deputy Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski said last month that a ground-penetrating radar had picked up images of an armoured World War II-era train buried near Walbrzych that may well contain a hoard of treasure. The fact the train appears to have gun turrets suggests it contained valuable cargo, he said, adding that "we believe that not only treasures may be stored onboard, as the founders claim, but we assume there are also dangerous materials from World War II there as well." The 150 metre (492 ft) long train is believed to have been hidden in the earth beneath a tunnel near Ksiaz Castle, by the Nazis on their retreat in 1945. It is believed to have up to 300 tonnes of gold on board in addition to diamonds and gemstones. A survivor of the alleged mission to conceal the rolling stock confessed the location of the train shortly before his death, Zuchowski said. He also warned that the train may be booby-trapped. Earlier in August two men of German and Polish citizenship claimed the discovery of the train with a letter sent to local authorities. They asked for a guarantee of 10 percent of the value of the contents as a finder's reward.
