Great treasures remain lost after WWII. The Amber Room of Catherine the Great’s palace in St. Petersburg was never recovered, and the wall panels could be crated up on that train. There is enough un-accounted for loot, that it could have enough gold to sink a ship. I am pretty stoked to see what they find.
I read an article on ABC News, which reported:
” According to Polish folklore, the “ghost” train went missing in May 1945 after the train, which was armed and filled with treasure, entered a series of secret tunnels under the Owl Mountains.
The secret tunnels, which the Nazis never finished, were part of a project known as “Riese,” which means “Giant.” The area of tunnels belonged to Germany then but is now a part of Poland. “
Whenever it may have arrived, I have to think someone found something of value to hire lawyers to contact the Polish authorities.
I finally concluded the Amber Room must have been destroyed in the near total destruction of Konigsburg during the Russian siege. It would be one of the coolest finds in years if it turned up intact on this alleged train.
