Historians Statement on the Lost Nazi Treasure
Controversy continues regarding the World War II diary that was discovered in Poland and claimed to show lost 10-ton Nazi treasure. Claims that the diary shows the location of $200 million in gold looted by the Nazis during the war have long been on the agenda.
A group called the Silesian Bridge Foundation began digging for gold on the grounds of a historic palace in the village of Minkowskie by examining the diary of a Nazi officer, but no trace of the fortune has been found for months.
Excavations continue in the garden of the 18th century palace in search of the treasure.
‘WRITTEN AFTER THE WAR’
Although the legend of the lost treasure caused great controversy in the country, a group of experts made a claim that would disappoint treasure hunters. According to the news of the British newspaper Daily Mail, the experts who examined the diary affirmed that it was completely false and that it was written after 1982.
Historians from the Discoverer group claimed that the 600-page diary, which is mostly blank, and the information it contains are completely false, and the information is based on the stories of those who fled the region during the war. The experts also noted that there is no tangible evidence in the journal that the wealth is buried in the village of Minkowskie, where excavations have been ongoing for months.
THE MAP PUBLISHED IN THE NETHERLANDS WAS EXCITING
The controversy comes after another recent incident involving the loss of Nazi treasures in Europe. In Holland, the Nazi map of the Second World War, published by the State years later, creates a great controversy.
The map, released last week by the Dutch National Archives, is said to show the burial site of four chests of gold and jewels, which were looted by Nazi soldiers after a bank explosion in the Netherlands in 1944.
After the map was published, hundreds of treasure hunters from all over the country and neighboring countries flocked to the forest marked on the map. The fact that many people with metal detectors in hand went after the treasure in the forest area of the town of Ommeren, in the east of the Netherlands, was also on the agenda of the press.
