HOPE has been reignited in the hunt for the legendary Nazi gold train, believed to be laden with treasures from the Amber Room and to have vanished in the final months of WWII.
A detailed letter has been sent to Polish authorities claiming to finally reveal the alleged train’s long-lost location.
A man, who asked to remain anonymous, sent a detailed letter dated April 23 to Polish authorities.
The tipper claims they have uncovered train wagons hidden in a tunnel near WaÃ…‚brzych, in southwestern Poland.
The letter wrote: “Three railway wagons from the period of World War II, are hidden in a camouflaged tunnel.
“Each wagon is approximately 12 metres long, four metres wide and four metres high.
“The wagons are hidden behind a closed, sliding steel gate at the entrance to the tunnel.”;;
It added: “The wagons contain valuable precious metals, including gold.
“Precise geodetic data will be made available to the mayor of WaÃ…‚brzych or his deputy in the form of attachments.”;;
City spokesperson Kamila Ã…šwierczyÃ…„ska said: “A certain man, whose details I cannot disclose, made a procedural report of the discovery, referred to by the press as the gold train.
“The letter looks factual and specific. The letter indicates four attachments, such as a tunnel with a train inside.”;;
She added that the letter included a “table with geodetic data, terrain profile, including the tunnel layout, a map with track simulation and tunnel course, and account of a witness who lived in WaÃ…‚brzych during the war.”;;
Anna Nowakowska, head of the WaÃ…‚brzych branch of the Provincial Office for the Protection of Monuments, said: “After analysing various sources and documents, the man came to the conclusion that he had located a tunnel with the so-called golden train inside.”;;
The legend dates back to the final months of WWII, when an armoured Nazi train is believed to have departed from the city of Wroclaw – then Breslau and part of Germany – loaded with looted treasures.
But the train never reached its reported destination of WaÃ…‚brzych.
It was rumoured to have vanished into a secret underground tunnels built by the Nazis in the Owl Mountains region.
This fresh tip, filled with technical data, maps and even a witness statement, has reignited hope.
Local authorities say the anonymous man behind the claim has not yet applied for a permit to conduct an official search.
Officials are currently considering whether to launch an investigation.
It comes as the alleged train was brought back into the spotlight in 2015 after two amateur treasure hunters, Piotr Koper and Andreas Richter, claimed they had found it using ground-penetrating radar.
Nothing came of these investigations.
Meanwhile, in 2023, the JaćwieÃ…¼ Historical and Exploratory Association and a pair of train wheels near the Mamerki bunker innorthwestern Poland.
The tracks were discovered five feet below the surface in the Warmia and Mazury province, which was the headquarters of Hitler’s GermanArmySupreme Command, just a few miles from Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair bunker complex.
The discovery of the hidden railway near the Mamerki bunker complex in Poland could be loosely connected to the famous gold train legend.
