Hunting The Nazi Gold TrainApril 8, 2018

For 70 years, rumours have circulated around the small town of Walbrzych in south west Poland about a concealed Nazi railway tunnel. How, in 1945, the original tunnel was fortified by the retreating German army with 10 metres of reinforced concrete, and its entrances blown up. And how anyone who spoke of the tunnel was either shot by the Nazis or pursued by the Russians after the war. Naturally, they fell silent - and the tunnel’s precise location was lost in the mists of time. Then, in August 2015, ground penetrating radar pinpointed the tunnel’s location. It's the 21st century equivalent of an unexplored pharaoh's tomb.
