Treasure hunters are planning to dig up what they say could be 48 crates of Nazi gold worth nearly half a billion pounds at a palace used by Hitler's SS as a brothel.
The dig, which starts next week, is hoped to uncover 10 tonnes of gold along with other valuables in the grounds of the 18th century palace in the village of Minkowskie in southern Poland.
The treasure was stolen on the orders of SS boss Heinrich Himmler towards the end of WWII to set up a Fourth Reich.
It is thought to include the so-called 'Gold of Breslau' which went missing from police headquarters in what is now the nearby Polish city of Wrocław.
It is also thought to include jewellery and valuables from the private collections of wealthy Germans who lived in the region and who handed their possessions to the SS in order to protect them from being looted by the advancing Red Army.
The location was revealed by secret documents, an SS officer's diary and a map that the treasure hunters received from the descendants of officers belonging to a secretive lodge dating back over 1,000 years.

It won’t be there anyways, moths ate it all
While those guys are still looking for Hitler in South America
An idea for a Banacek movie.
Along with arc of the covenant and the golden manora
I preferred Sasha Banacek. ![]()

What ever gold their was was sent to Argentina a long, long time ago. Evita had to pay for her jewelry somehow.
IF the moths ate the gold, then those are some heavy metal moths.
One hell of a story. I assume they used ground penetrating radar so they won’t be left looking as dumb as Geraldo.
We’ll see.

I somehow missed seeing that back in 1986. Oh well.
Where’s the big red “X”?
Seriously, these ‘hidden gold treasure’ stories are hysterical - because if there WAS any gold at one time, it was tightly accounted for and put in the regular repositories. There is NEVER ‘Secret’ gold.
Would be hysterical if this was some old Nazi’s joke on the future, and it’s nothing but crates of empty beer bottles, cigarette butts and used condom wrappers.
Only took the second response to have a Geraldo reference. No disappointment.
Lol yep 😆
Not necessarily, with the Cold War and the communist government in Poland inhibiting access to the site for almost half a century.
Exactly. Nice, neat and well accounted for.
I did some work at Lakehurst Naval Air Station (Hidenburg crash) years ago. When WWII ended they just buried a bunch of stuff that wasn’t needed anymore. Rumor had it that included in the buried stuff was something like 30 Harley Davidson motorcycles in cosmoline and crates.
LOLOL!!! you win...
