London - A Nazi “ghost” train packed with treasure may have been found hidden in a tunnel in the Polish mountains.
Two people claim to have discovered the train, said to have disappeared in 1945 as the Nazis tried to hide treasure from the advancing Soviet Red Army.
According to local legend, it was packed with gems and guns.
Now a law firm has contacted authorities in Poland’s southwest district of Walbrzych to say the 495ft train has been found. Under Polish law, the pair would be entitled to 10 percent of the value of the findings.
“Lawyers, the army, the police and the fire brigade are dealing with this,” Marika Tokarska, an official at Walbrzych council, said. “The area has never been excavated before and we don’t know what we might find.”
The train had been carrying guns, “industrial equipment”, gems and other treasure when it went missing, according to Radio Wroclaw.
