Treasure Hunter Claims to Have Found Legendary Lost Nazi Gold Train

An anonymous treasure hunter claims to have found the location of the legendary ‘Nazi gold train’ said to have been filled with riches from World War II and hidden in Poland. The subject of countless searches in the past, the apocryphal cache of pilfered priceless pieces is thought to have been buried in the Polish city of Wałbrzych. Talk of the treasure has been rekindled this week after a local media outlet revealed that community officials received a mysterious missive earlier this year wherein a man asserted that he found three WWI railroad cars hidden in a sizeable tunnel in a forested area of the city.
Sharing details on the letter, Wałbrzych spokeswoman Kamila Świerczyńska described the man’s claims as “substantive and concrete.” She also noted that the missive included several attachments with maps, geodetic data, and a witness account from a resident who lived in the area when the train was allegedly hidden. While the treasure hunter asked that his name be withheld from the public, Świerczyńska noted that city officials met with the man, who explained how he determined the location of the lost gold train by “analyzing various sources and documents.”
Intriguingly, although he was informed of the official process necessary for him to try and retrieve the riches, city officials said that he has yet to follow through on his pursuit. To that end, while the anonymous letter is undeniably tantalizing, they stressed that the city issues dozens of permits each year to treasure hunters who also believe they have solved the mystery of the Nazi gold train believed to be buried in Wałbrzych. Time will tell whether or not this particular instance turns out to be the long-sought breakthrough in the search for the apocryphal riches or yet another dead end.
