    Honestly this is like something out of a Movie if the claims are true!

    Nazi gold train 'found in Poland'

    Two people in Poland say they may have found a Nazi train rumoured to be full of gold, gems and guns that disappeared in World War Two, Polish media say.

    The train is believed to have gone missing near what is now the Polish city of Wroclaw as Soviet forces approached in 1945.

    A law firm in south-west Poland says it has been contacted by two men who have discovered the armoured train.

    There is rumored to be over 300 tonnes of Gold and Gems onboard the Train!!!

    That's about $10 billion apparently based on some rough calculations.

    10% isn't bad. At least they aren't being greedy :P

    Put it in an undiscovered tunnel.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,951 ✭✭✭frostyjacks


    Sounds a bit far fetched. How can a whole train stay hidden in a tunnel all this time? Surely one of the Germans would have went back at some stage to collect.

    Easy. Last Sunday I found 3 trains, a couple of jeeps, four jet fighters and a few dozen Ninja Turtles that my son had hidden under the back seat of an old Baby Ford - long abandoned in a disused hay shed.

    May have been executed by advancing Soviet troops.

    Then the place was under Soviet occupation for the next 50 years. Be hard to get it out.

    Who gets the cash then? I suppose the guys who found it don't have any rights to it except 'finders keepers'

    will this affect the price of gold

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,590 ✭✭✭✭kneemos

    It's a bit more complicated than that.

    I thought all the gold was buried in the mountains of Bavaria


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,458 ✭✭✭✭gandalf


    I wonder if the Amber Room is on the train?

    Its not their property but they will argue that they are due it due to the holocaust the same way American jews sued the Palestinians authority for terror acts committed by hamas and got awarded millions.

    In 1917, the Laurentic ocean liner struck a mine off Fanad Head, Donegal and sank with 370 people on board lost. The ship also took down over 40 tons of gold bullion... £10 million worth is still missing today.

    Yeah I can just imagine the reception "The Honey Monster" rocking up to Cash Converters or any other pawn establishment would get with a Gold bar stamped with a swastika :)

    They should bring it over to Rick from Pawn Stars. He'd easily give them $100 for it. Or maybe €50 and 75 store credit.

    Ah now, he's got overheads and a business to run. How long is all that gold going to be sitting on the shelf? He's taking on all the risk.

    I hope they find the last of them Nazi lads to give them back their gold.

    Thought this thread was about real Nazi gold :

    Well worth a read. Will change your life.

    Who the hell announces to the world that they've found a few billion worth of gold in a lost train? Please tell me they've taken some for themselves.

    A Ford Transit Jumbo XLWB has a cargo volume of 14.3 m3 and Gold weighs 19.3 tonnes / m3 so you could fit 276 tonnes in the back. Just take it handy on the clutch.

    Sounds a bit far fetched. How can a whole train stay hidden in a tunnel all this time? Surely one of the Germans would have went back at some stage to collect.
    It's probably mined / booby trapped. No point risking your life for something that's more likely to be filled with Reichmarks.

    Given the lengths and risks people go to steal the stuff a train load is a gimme.

    According to several madia outlets, the mythical Nazi "ghost train" has been found!

    http://news.sky.com/story/1538700/nazi-gold-ghost-train-found-in-poland

    So would you keep it if you found it? Or would you turn it in, in the hope of getting a percentage from the authorities?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    We know. It was posted last week.

    If I found it I would say nothing and flog the gold bars one by one over time to some dodgy pawn shop like what Edward Norton did in The Italian Job remake.

    I wouldn't go anywhere near it. I've seen Dead Snow so I know exactly how that shit ends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭valoren


    Cash for Gold offered €100 for the lot. :pac:

    I'd imagine that the two lads haven't actually gotten to put their hands on the train. It's probably buried in a train tunnel that's blocked at both ends.

    So I'd say that they have discovered a train in a tunnel, they are just hoping that it's a treasure laden train. They'll have no way to know for sure until someone digs down to it.
