The Nazis made prisoners of war dig a network of tunnels in the area, and some locals have claimed the Germans tried to spirit gold away as Russia’s Red Army closed in.
The experts from Krakow’s prestigious Academy of Mining said a tunnel could exist but that there was no sign of a train at a site near the southwestern town of Walbrzych.
Koper and another explorer, Andreas Richter, told Walbrzych authorities earlier this year that they had located an armored Nazi train hidden in a secret tunnel by railway tracks in the city.
The local government in Walbrzych commissioned the team of scientists to conduct a survey to end speculation about the possibility that a train laden with gold really could have been hidden in the area during the last days of World War 2.
According to Koper, he and Richter found the train by using their “own resources, eyewitness testimony, and our own equipment and skills”, the AP notes. And that’s up to the mayor of Walbrzych.
Koper said Tuesday he remained convinced of the existence of a train, and that work would continue to find it. There is no train,”Madej said at a news conference in Walbrzych, according to the BBC”.
The Nazis constructed many miles of tunnels under Walbrzych during the war.
“The geo-magnetic model anomalies would be far greater if there was a train”.
Madej spoke after a team of scientists spent a month surveying a site at the 22-mile (35km) mark on the Wrocław-Wałbrych railway line identified as the train’s resting place.
Koper said the train was 92 meters long and contained in a tunnel eight meters in width and between five and six meters wide.
A number of trains are believed to been used by the Nazis in the 1940s to transport goods stolen from people in Eastern Europe back to Berlin. “The readings [by the scientists] are different because the methodological approach was not the same as ours”.
