Thank you for the ping!

I’m waiting to find out where The Amber Room is, but this is exciting!

This is what this website said about the fate of the Amber Room. Link below.

After the war, the German official in charge of the amber shipment said the crates were in a castle that burned down in an air raid. A Soviet investigator found a charred fragment from the room. Others think the palace sank to the bottom of the Baltic Sea in a torpedoed steamer or was stashed in an abandoned mine in Thuringia.

Amber room, I think it was dismantled and shipped to Moscow for the Politburo to sit in , as they smoke their Cubans.
