Some loot from World War II may still be undiscovered.
As Nazi forces tore through much of Europe and North Africa during World War II, gold, valuable artifacts and priceless paintings disappeared from the conquered territories, and many of these treasures are still missing to this day. Many people believe the Nazis hid these treasures away in secret locations. It's perfect fodder for urban legends: the loot stashed away by Nazi soldiers, its location only revealed on a difficult-to-obtain map.
Typically, the Nazis seized monetary gold and stored it in central depositories, and then used it to finance the Nazi war effort. But the Nazis also looted gold from individuals."Non-monetary gold was derived from looting the homes, possessions and even the bodies of the victims," Zweig wrote in his book. Much of what was looted from private individuals was either lost or seized at the end of the war.In 1945, U.S. Army units unearthed hidden hoards of loot across Germany and Austria.
Another commonly-reported story is the the location of the Wałbrzych gold train purportedly containing a hoard of Nazi gold. The train was claimed to be buried inside a mountain in southwestern Poland. When the location was supposedly discovered, Sayer immediately dismissed the claim as"absolute rubbish." After extensive excavation of the site in August 2016, no gold and no train were uncovered.
