After two anonymous treasure hunters claimed they pinpointed where an alleged Nazi "gold train" is buried last month, they issued a statement via a local television in Poland on Friday about how they found it.
The law in Poland regulates that anyone who finds the location of the gold train could get 10 percent of the value of the train's contents. The train, a possible hoard of some 300 tons of gold, precious stones and weapons is believed to have gone missing near what is now the Polish city of Wroclaw as Soviet forces approached in 1945.
The two hunters said in the statement that they found the train based on the information and knowledge they obtained and that they were supportted by sponsors. In addition, they clarified that they provided the information about the train not because they are tempted by the money reward.
"They called me. I told them that I will make certain technical editing such as hiding their images and changing their voices (if they receive our interview). However, they hesitated and did not agree, saying they worried about their own safety and were afraid of becoming targets of threat. After I left for Warsaw, driving about 50 kilometers away, then returning to Walbrzych, when it was already midnight, they changed their minds and said that they agreed to see us," said Dariusz Bohatkiewicz, a reporter with Telewizja Polska (TVP), a public broadcasting corporation in Poland.
Almost the same moment when the statement is issued, the defense ministry of Poland deployed a team to search for the mystery train in an area, which is believed to be near Ksiaz castle, 77 kilometers southeast of the Polish town of Wroclaw.
The Poland government once deployed teams to search for the train many times in the 1960s, 1980s and 1990s.
It is believed that the train entered a tunnel near Ksiaz Castle in the mountainous Lower Silesian region and never emerged. The tunnel was later closed and remained long forgotten.
"The exact information about the gold train has not been found. It is not until they are found that we can believe the existence of the treasure. But I hope it exists," said sterbowski, an engineer in the Ksiaz Castle.
"There might not be gold train or the legendary 300 tons of gold, but there should be something such as files, materials or artwork. Just as I said, everything will be clear when it proves what is inside the tunnel," said Joanna Lamparska, a writer.
"I hope that the story could push forward the professional research of the tunnel. I hope that more secrets of the tunnel could be uncovered, as there is a huge amount of tunnels here. Seven years have passed since the World War II, and so far we do not know why the tunnels were built. There are many subjects that need study," said Krzysztof Urbanski, manager of Ksiaz Castle.
