Treasure legend: Amber room (Part 2)

There are Germans today who are still searching for traces of the Amber Room being stolen by the Nazis from the Tsar's palace during the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Handcrafted entirely from amber, gold and stone quarter, the room contains the most classic works of Baroque art, can be considered a wonder of the modern world.

In March 2011, the hunt for 60 years The Tsar Amber Room had new discoveries in a small town in East Germany, when treasure hunters discovered a sand cellar they believed was contains one of the wonders of the modern world.

Matthias Gluba, an architect and historian who seems to have traced the treasure after studying wartime documents of the town of Auerswalde, near the German city of Chemnitz.

Auerswalde is where Hitler built the two largest cannons in history - Dora and Gustav - two giant monsters on the train tracks that can blow tons of heavy guns. When learning about the history of these cannon, Gluba stumbled upon documents about the underground underground site.

Gluba then found detailed information about the secret transport from the city of Koenigsberg (now Kaliningrad and part of Russia but in 1945 still the main city of East Prussia in Germany) - the last place to be kept known of the legendary Amber Room before it went to the Soviet Red Army.

The Amber Room was stolen by the Nazis from the Tsar's palace during the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. Handcrafted entirely from amber, gold and precious stones, the room contained the most classic works of Baroque art and widely recognized as one of the world's most important art treasures.

When all its 565 candles were burned, the Amber Room was described as "glowing like pure gold". The room is valued at around £ 150 million, but many people think it is priceless.

This was the Prussian King's gift to the Russian Emperor Pie the Great in 1716. Later, Catherine the Great entrusted a team of craftsmen to adorn the room and move it from the Winter Palace in Petersburg to a new residence. Her summer is on the outskirts of Tsarskoye. By January 1945, the room disappeared after many campaigns attacked on the ground and in the air.

The original room was partially restored in 1979 but still lacked the original splendor. Since its disappearance, it has become as mysterious as the legendary city of El Dorado, and has become a longing for the rich and the poor.

The German official in charge of transporting the room said it was placed in a castle and burned down after an air raid. But recently, Mr. Gluba, 57, restarted a fantasy room hunt.

He found documents about an air raid on Breslau (once German, now a Polish city) on February 4, 1945. The military said 40 wagons from Koneigsberg, which had been lost for days to the Red Army, were not harmed during the attack and were on their way to Auerswalde "in the most secret way".

"Later I found documents saying that hundreds of Soviet prisoners were directed to dismantle the boxes from the train and take them to an underground base in the forest outside the town, then I found records. copy about sending a SS division to protect this activity, " reported the Guardian to quote Mr. Gluba.

He said the campaign was carried out very late, in the context of war and such chaotic traffic systems, which proved that such secret containers must contain extremely valuable things.

Gunter Richter, a more than 80-year-old local resident, lived in Auerswalde, telling Gluba that he remembered in the Muna forest outside the town a huge cellar built with the military purpose he had been there when childhood.

He remembers that the tunnel was very large enough to let the truck run inside. But it disappeared from the post-war maps. In 2011, he and Gluba found a ventilation route that led to a secret underground structure that they believed was the old basement.

"If the shipment from Koenigsberg and is protected by SS special agent is unloaded here, we are responsible for history to open them and see what's inside , " he said.

In March 2011, the search team said they were applying for a permit to unearth the treasure. But there has been no news since then.

By September 2015, treasure hunters claimed to find Nazi gold carrying trains, and maybe the Amber Room was in it. Polish Culture Minister Piotr Zuchowski said he saw the radar image of an underground exploration of a train longer than 100m.

Three months later, Polish officials announced they found a tunnel, but not the Nazi gold train as previously predicted. And that also means that the secret of the Amber Room has not been solved, the British Daily Mail reported.
