World’s Biggest Treasure May Have Been Found On a Nazi Train Buried In a Mountain

Take a trip with me, back through time  - to 1945.

It's the end of the 2nd World War. The Russians are about to enter Nazi Germany. Somebody in the Third Reich decides to protect all the gold they've collected (stolen) by getting it out of Germany. So they load the gold and some other Nazi secrets on a train and send it off into the mountains of Poland to Walbrzych. It never arrived.  And nobody ever saw the train again.

70 years later, two guys may have found the complete 500 foot long train - near it's destination - in a sealed railroad tunnel. According to CNN, the two men won't tell anybody where it is (apparently there are many sealed train tunnels in the area) until the Polish government guarantees the two will get 10% of whatever's on board. 10% may not seem like much, but "local media" reports that there may be 300 tons of gold on board.

300 tons. Worth about $10 Billion. I did the math for CNN.

$10  B-I-L-L-I-O-N.

Here's the story.
