Polish Government Confirms Discovery Of Nazi "Gold Train", Warns It May Be Booby-Trapped

Last weekend we reported that in the past month two men, a Pole and German, claimed to have discovered the legendary Nazi "gold train" - a 150 meter long German train alleged to be full of gold, gems and weapons, which disappeared just before the end of World War II - in the proximity of the Polish town of Walbrzych, close to where the Nazi are said to have loaded up the train with valuables for its final voyage in the town of Wroclaw, just as the Soviet forces approached in 1945.

As we detailed, the train is said to have been entombed in the vast tunnel labyrinth located close to Ksiaz castle, which served as Nazi headquarters during World War II...

Ksiaz castle, Nazi headquarters during World War II

... and specifically, was said to be located at the foot of the Sowa mountain, in the woods three miles outside the town of Walbrych.

The "gold train" is said to be located under this hill

While many were skeptical that the mystical Nazi treasure train had been finally discovered after many years of searching, an official update last Friday by the Polish government suggested that that may indeed be the case. As the Mail reported on Friday, a representative of the Polish culture ministry, Poland’s National Heritage and Conservation Officer Piotr Zuchowski, said that the man who helped hide the train had revealed its location shortly before he died, and that proof of the train has been observed on radar.

Zuchowski added that "Information about where this train is and what its contents are were revealed on the deathbed of a person who had knowledge of the secret of this train.' He added that Polish authorities had now seen evidence of the train’s existence in a picture taken using a ground-penetrating radar. He said the image - albeit blurred - showed the shape of a train platform and cannons. 

Piotr Zuchowski, Poland’s National Heritage and Conservation Officer, confirmed the 'unprecedented' find

Mr Zuchowski said the find was 'unprecedented', adding: 'We do not know what is inside the train. 'Probably military equipment but also possibly jewellery, works of art and archive documents. 

'Armored trains from this period were used to carry extremely valuable items and this is an armored train, it is a big clue.' He said authorities were now '99 percent sure the train exists' and whatever is on it will be returned to the rightful owners, if they can be found. 'We will be 100 per cent sure only when we find the train,' Mr Zuchowski added.

The train found in the mountains is an 'armored train' which looks similar to the one pictured

Mr Zuchowski told reporters that the train was about 100 metres long but added: 'It is not possible to disclose the exact location of where the train can be found. Still, he noted cryptically that "The local government in Walbrzych knows where it is."

He explained it is hidden along a 4km stretch of track on the Wroclaw-Walbrzych line.

Mr Zuchowski said the person who claimed he helped load the gold train in 1945 said in a 'deathbed statement' the train is secured with explosives. The official declined to comment further about the man who said this but speculation is now rife that it was a former SS guard or a local Pole who stumbled upon the train before hiding it.

Deputy Mayor of Walbrzych, Zygmunt Nowaczyk told the press: 'The city is full of mysterious stories because of its history. 'Now it is formal information - we have found something.'

Key excerpts from the press conference by the Polish official can be seen on the Euronews clip below:

 

The confirmation of the discovery unleashed a surge of treasury hunters, and forced the Polish government to warn the population to stop looking because it could be booby-trapped and dangerous. Zuchowski said "foragers" have become active since two people claimed to have discovered the train last week and urged eager fortune-hunters to stop searching, saying they risk injury or death.

Zuchowski adds that "there may be hazardous substances dating from the Second World War in the hidden train, which I'm convinced exists. I am appealing to people to stop any such searches until the end of official procedures leading to the securing of the find. There's a huge probability that the train is booby-trapped.'

If anything, tthese warnings are sure to unleash an even more aggressive wave of seekers now that the train's existience has been confirmed, and the government is actually warning seekers to be careful in their search.

But perhaps what is more interesting is just what the discovery, which would be straight out of an Indiana Jones sequel, will contain, and whether someone already got to the precious cargo over the past 7 decades. The answer should be made public shortly.

Illinois needs the gold.  They have to give lottery winners IOUs in Illinois.  That is bad.

What's next?

The government can't even do gambling, booze or hookers as efficiently as the mob and the gangsters never had degrees.

As previously stated before:

The 'cabal' is direly interested in the anomaly's under

  Ital, Greece, Puerto Rico, and as always Eastern Europe.

Yemen, and the deserts of the Middle East.

They eagerly await September 23, 2015,

when all their hopes and dreams manifest

in the opening of a 'black hole'.

The 'cabal' needs to be aware of UFO's, or:

unidentified 'falling' objects

in their project of

conCERN.

The real treasure that no one will see are the archive documents. Probably 6 million pages.

This is such a load of BS! Mark my words. Why on earth would nazis in retreat hide the gold in Poland with sowiet troops approaching? Fcuk no! Poland is an US puppet and they will be making up such stupid stories in order to prevent the gold price from exploding. They will be announcing thousands of tons of gold flooding the market in the near future, so why buy it anyhow, right? At the moment they are still busy with setting up the stage to look authentic. They are just a scam artists trying to fool the stupid markets. This is nothing but a desperate attept to stop the innevitable. Nazi gold my ass!

Um, if you look at a pre-1945 map, you'll find the area was part of Germany at the time. So, yes, foolish to hide someting in your nieghbours yard, but not so foolish to hide it in what you think it your own yard.

Yeah, it isn't like some German officer or soldier would have spilled the beans about an entire train full of gold when some Soviet NKVD was about to blow his brains out.

And of course, after Nuremberg, when basically the entire surviving top Nazi leadership were about to be short drop hung on piano wire they would have never even dreamed of mentioning that train full of gold.

and as a reminder, this is the unvailing of a 1957 Plymouth Belvedere which was bouht by boyd coddington while still underground and was burred new.  Forget the art and any silver and i doubt the explosives or fuses work - at most you might get some yellow.

The secret is out! people want to know what the Nazi's were so eager to hide.

I don't think they have any choice but to carefully attempt to gain access to what is no doubt a sealed off and back filled tunnel lead in.

But you can see a shit storm of claims being staked if they find works of art, gems, gold and documentation.

I hope everyone understands that Gold is not "Nazi Gold", it is Irrespective of the Government of Germany at the time: Germany's Gold.

It HAS to be returned to Germany Thresury since it is already identified.

so why did it take them so long to find it? 

The area where the train was found was in the region called Silesia.  It is now in Western Poland and up unitl the end of World war 2 this area was inhabited by Germans.  The Germans hid the train.  There were no Poles living in Silesia at the time. 

At the end of World War 2 the borders where redrawn all Germans living in Silesia where expelled to within the present day borders of Germany.  This included the guys who knew about the train. The "iron curtain" prevented these Germans from returning to claim their prize.  Got to give them credit none of them squealed to the Soviets. 

At the end of the war The Soviet Union annexed Eastern Poland and in exchange the Poles where given Silesia.  The Eastern Poles were all expelled and sent across the country to live in their new homes in Silesia. These new settlers from Eastern Poland would of had no contact with the former German residents.   They were obviously oblivious of the train hidden under the mountain.

After many hours of digging we eventually found the gold carriage.

I slowly opened the door and heard a faint scuffling sound.

The carriage was empty…. It looked as if the gold bugs had beaten us to it.

The 2 treasure said that they saw the thing.   I bet they couldn't get inside.  It is an armored train, everything probably rusted shut after 70 years. Maybe they thought if they cooked up a scheme to get 10%, better than dying trying to open the thing, and getting caught in an explosion.   

Or its all a hoax.  Naahh.
