Nazi gold train: Truth about Poland 'discovery' set to be revealed

[Geee]

UK Independent:

When two men claimed to have found a mysterious train filled with Nazi gold last fall in Poland, it all seemed too spectacular to be really true. Skepticism of the alleged finding quickly overtook the initial enthusiasm.

 

On Tuesday, we may finally find out whether the Nazi gold train has indeed been found.

 

One year after claiming to have traced it, a team of 35 researchers that includes Piotr Koper and Andreas Richter will start digging for the precious metal. A report they worked on found that soil anomalies could hint at the train's existence, but another study by the AGH University of Science and Technology in the Polish city of Krakow found no evidence for that. The latter study, however, did conclude that a tunnel may be at the location where Koper and Richter will now put their theory to the test.

 

"The train is not a needle in the haystack — if there is one, we will find it,” Andrzej Gaik, the spokesman for the search committee, told the news agency Agence France-Presse. The committee consists of volunteers rather than of Polish officials, who refrained from participating in the search efforts.

 

Gaik remains hopeful: "If we find a tunnel, then that is also a success. Maybe the train is hidden inside that tunnel."

 

The privately funded effort will be streamed live online and could be over within two days. Using special equipment, the search team is planning to drill three 100-meter holes into the ground.
