Gold train

War History Online has an article about that mysterious (and still unfound) gold train:

Well we know it isn’t April Fools Day, but these images ‘are’ of the of the lost train in Poland that is carrying Nazi gold, the Amber Room, classified documents between Hitler and Churchill, alien space craft, Mussolini’s socks, Tutankhamun, the Mary Celeste, and, of course, Elvis….
These images are all over the Internet, and some folks are believing they are real; they are even debating it. Someone has done a great job using a 1/35th-scale model, by the looks of it. Very clever and great fun, but please do not take it seriously.
Last month we were with a real life treasure hunter and, of course, the subject of the ‘gold train’ came up. This chap has spent his life exploring caves and tunnels for World War Two history. As he pointed out from the get-go, nothing survives too well in tunnel conditions. They are usually very wet places, and even something as big as a train wouldn’t survive too well. Only non-ferrous metals would survive. So, whatever they find, don’t expect too much.
Why is it taking so long to dig this train out? Good question. There seems to be a news blackout. Either that, or all of the worlds journalists that descended on the area have run out of the expenses (propping up the local bars) and have gone back home. But, in all fairness, just imagine for one moment the amount of red tape there is on this subject. The whole world and it’s mother will be laying claim to it. The Germans, Russians, the Poles, the French. People are saying that the gold should be returned to it’s rightful owners, the Jews. First thing, we don’t even know if there is a train. If there is, we don’t even know what is on it. If there is gold, why would it automatically belong to the Jews? If there is gold, then it could be of major value. For any country to have the opportunity to increase it’s gold reserves, they are going to fight for it.
The mystery continues and, whilst it does, lets set back and just smile at these images and ask those who made them, to make some more. Can we put out a request for images of Yamashita’s gold please.
