Two men are claiming they know where it is, and are demanding a 10 per cent cut of 300 tons of gold.
Walbrzych — an ethnic German enclave in the mountainous border of Poland and Czechoslovakia — was a regional industrial centre at the time of the war. The area includes several coal mines and an extensive network of underground tunnels.
Between 1943 and 1945 this site was turned into a highly secret labyrinth of passages and chambers. Its true purpose remains a mystery: Was it connected to Hitler’s secret “V” weapons program, Or even research into nuclear weapons.
Mystery treasure train: During the Nazi occupation, a massive treasure of gold, gems, art and historical artefacts had been stripped from Polish museums, galleries and private collections. Then there were the gold reserves of the Wroclaw bank.

Now two men are claiming they know where it is, and are demanding a 10 per cent cut of 300 tons of gold.
