Confirmed: Long-Lost Nazi Loot Train Found In Poland [picture]

Last week, a pair of anonymous treasure hunters approached officials in Walbrzych, Poland​ via their lawyer to claim they had found an old Nazi loot train. Now officials have confirmed that the pair certainly found a train. Whether it’s full of gold remains to be seen. 

As NBC News reports, a press officer confirmed that a military train had been found and the town’s deputy mayor Zygmunt Nowaczyk​ made the following statement at a press conference:

The city [of Walbrzych] is full of mysterious stories because of its history. Now it is formal information — [we] have found something.

There have been legends of a lost Nazi train in Walbrzych for years, and now it appears they are true. A tour guide at a local castle told NBC News that Nazis had dug myriad secret tunnels in the area during World War II as part of a project to turn that castle into a hotel for high ranking Nazi officials. It’s unproven but plausible that these tunnels were used as a impromptu train-hiding spot.   source
