Army to scrutinize Nazi train
14:35
Minister of Defense Tomasz Siemoniak has approved a motion submitted by the Lower Silesian Governor to have the area where the Nazi Gold train is allegedly located checked by the army.
As of now, it is unknown when the soldiers will be deployed.
"Those soldiers will be experts from several units, who know their stuff. They will scrutinize the area, It will be a reconnaissance," said Artur Goławski from the General Command.
Depending on the results of their work, it will be decided whether the area will be further examined.
The media reported, however, that the army is equipped with a ground-penetrating radar that has a range of two and a half meter only. The train may be buried deeper.
On Friday, Wałbrzych (Silesia) city authorities said that the legendary Nazi treasure train has been 99 percent found. On Sunday, however, the governor said that "based on the documents received, it can't be decided whether the train really exists."
The train, allegedly filled with gold, went missing at the end of WWII when the Soviet Red Army was closing in on the Nazi forces.
