Overview

  • A letter dated April 23, 2025, claims to pinpoint the location of three WWII-era train wagons hidden in a camouflaged tunnel near Wałbrzych, Poland.
  • The anonymous sender provided geodetic data, terrain profiles, maps, and a wartime eyewitness account to support their claim.
  • Wałbrzych officials have validated the letter’s specificity and filed a procedural report but note no excavation permits have been requested yet.
  • The train is rumored to contain looted treasures, including gold and possibly artifacts from the Amber Room, though its existence remains disputed by experts.
  • Previous searches, including a 2015 radar-based effort by treasure hunters, have failed to uncover the train, fueling ongoing debates about the legend's authenticity.
