http://edition.cnn.com/2015/08/20/europ ... ?sr=cnnifb (CNN)Could two treasure hunters have found a legendary Nazi train packed with gold that vanished 70 years ago? It's a question authorities in Poland's mountainous southwestern Walbrzych district are taking seriously. It seems on its face unlikely. But not impossible. The train reputedly went missing in 1945, at the end of World War II, when the Soviet Red Army was closing in on the forces of Nazi Germany. As local lore has it, the train left Wroclaw, then part of Germany and known as Breslau, for Walbrzych, but never reached its destination. Now two people, a German and a Pole, say they have found a 490-foot (150-meter) train they claim contains Nazi treasure that could be worth "well over a million dollars," said Marika Tokarska, an official at the Walbrzych district council. Through a local law firm, they contacted the Walbrzych district council a week ago with news of their find. But they won't reveal the train's location without a guarantee that they will be awarded 10% of the value of the treasure, she told CNN. One of the two has a background in excavation projects and has equipment that can detect objects beneath the surface of the Earth, Tokarska said. |

Read the story this morning, I think I saw a documentary about these uys about 6 months ago..they are looking for a few things. Everytime I see something about Hitler and Germany I think about how the rest of the world does owe us an endless favor. Operation Bernhard, a massive counterfeit plan by the Nazis, actually hit the BOE hard enough they reprinted everything over 5Pds...and after they found out, The Nazis started on $100 US Bills...that oepration never got into full gear before they lost the war....ALLEGED...some Lake in Austria is where the prniting machines and excessive old hundos are...if you feel like being the next treasure hunter. |

If the train contains only $1 mil. worth of valuables, that's peanuts. One painting could be worthy many times more than that. A good Picasso, for example, goes for $20 mil. to $30 mil. nowadays. |
