Summary
So, as of 2pm, here is a brief summary of what we know (and what we don't) about this train of a “military nature” which has been found.
"Significant discovery" made in the Polish city of Walbrzych
Deputy culture minister says he is "convinced" of the existence of the Nazi gold train
Two unidentified men are claiming through a lawyer that they have found the legendary train
Arkadiusz Grudzien, a spokesman for Walbrzych council’s legal office, said: “The train is of a military nature. There is no mention of valuables: just military equipment”
The lawyer for the two men, Jaroslaw Chmielewski, said: "This is a find of world significance, on a par with [discovering] the Titanic"
The Polish state treasure and culture ministry has been informed in case the find contains anything of value

That's blood money.

I wonder what they do with it if it is there? A large portion of that fortune was stolen from Jewish families.

That's a very good question. I guess if there is any gold on the train it will fall under Polish law as to what is done with it.

From one of the links in my OP....

quote:

How could you hide a train for 70 years? Trains are big things.

One of the questions many of us will have is the one above and just how it could remain hidden for long. Matthew Day in Warsaw explains how.

During the war the Germans dug miles of tunnels into the hills and mountains around Walbrzych. Historians differ on why this was done. Some say they were creating a secret command centre, others say they were underground factories for weapons, while others claim the tunnels were research sites for the atom bomb project.

But there are tunnels: some of them very big. At the end of the war the Germans flooded or blew up a number of them. As a result not all the tunnels have been explored.


And here's another link that goes into it pretty well...

So the two people that found it gave up the location? Wonder if they got their 10% deal or whatever they were seeking as recompense for the discovery?

I guess that's how it works. They notify the authorities and get to keep a percentage as a finders fee of sorts kinda like a salvage claim from a shipwreck.

Miles of tunnels under mountains and they blew a lot of them up. Wouldn't be hard for a train to be under there and unreachable without massive amounts of money and effort being spent to excavate.

The Jews control the banks and have all of the gold. They need to give it all to the 99%

I don't think " lost" is the right word. Hidden maybe.

Reminds of a sign I see in Kentucky, I think its " Lost Cave" or "Lost River" and has an arrow pointing the way.

If I found gold on a shipwreck, my arse is pocketing as much as I can, I'm geo tagging the location, then telling the authorities about it weeks after I've stashed the gold.

10% my arse.
