Poland’s military will soon start “reconnaissance work” in the forested foothills of the Sudety mountains, where treasure hunters believe an armored Nazi train carrying gold and loot has been buried for 70 years.
Regional authorities in southwest Poland called for the army to help after two men said last month that they had found the lost train, attracting crowds of amateur scavengers to the woods near the city of Walbrzych. Local lore claims that a Nazi train loaded with loot, and possibly protected by booby traps, went missing after departing from Wroclaw in 1945, when German forces were in retreat from the Soviet-led Red Army.
