Secret Nazi Treasure Train May Have Been Found, Polish Official Says
It has all the makings of an Indiana Jones sequel: In the final days of World War II as the Soviet army closed in on the Third Reich from the east, a train full of gold, gems and other Nazi loot was hidden in a secret underground tunnel near the present-day Polish city of Walbrzych. Seventy years later, a deathbed confession may provide the key clue to finding it. In an extraordinary news conference Friday, Poland's Deputy Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski said authorities were led to a spot by an unnamed individual and that images obtained from ground-penetrating radar have left him "99 percent convinced" that the treasure train has been located. Zuchowski called it an "exceptional" discovery, according to The Telegraph. "The train is 100 meters long and is protected," he said. "The fact that it is armored indicates it has a special cargo," he said, but added: "We do not know what is inside the train. ... Probably military equipment but also possibly jewelry, works of art and archive documents." The BBC reports that Zuchowski said the information about the train's location came "in a deathbed confession from a person involved in concealing it." He also issued an appeal "for any further investigations to be put on hold until we have finished the necessary official procedures relating to securing the site." As the Daily Beast notes: "The buzz began this month when two unidentified men, a Pole and a German, claimed to have found the storied train. They contacted authorities in Wałbrzych via a law firm, but refused to reveal the train's exact location until they were guaranteed 10 percent of the value of what's inside. "The news struck a chord with many others who have long sought to find the train. With its complex network underground of tunnels designed by the Nazis, the surrounding hills of Lower Silesia have plenty of space to hide a train—even one 100 meters long."Although Zuchowski would not reveal the location of the find, he said he "personally hoped that it would bring to light looted art and Nazi archives," the BBC reports, adding that he "also reiterated warnings to treasure hunters that it may be booby-trapped." The mayor of Walbrzych, Zygmunt Nowaczyk, said the find was "within our administrative boundaries" but that "I cannot of course reveal the exact place." http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-w...treasure-train |

Could be anything in that train. Alex Smith's hidden touchdowns. Shannon Sharpe's diction. Phillip Rivers' birth control devices. Al Davis' soul. Anything.

I bet there are still some SS guys on board guarding it. Those guys are fanatics.
It'll be interesting to see what, if anything, is on it.

You're probably thinking of the landing of the Mars Curiosity Rover.

There needs to be a lewd sex act added to Urban Dictionary called Secret Nazi Treasure Train. I'll work on it.

OK the train part is easy. It will just have to involve a group of people. The Nazi part could be that all participants must be wearing WW2 era fetish gear. Maybe steampunk sex toys with a goth influence. And then there will have to be a Fight Club/Vegas rule that everyone involved is barred from speaking about what happened. Secret Nazi Treasure Train.

Could be a scam. I am hoping it is the Amber Room.
