Would you dare to look past the cobras?
Open that sealed door and risk your life for untold riches?
Regardless of your tolerance to tempt fate, many brave souls have paid a steep
price on a mission to claim hidden fortunes.
Is there any truth to the legends, curses, and calamities that surround
treasure?
And what will be uncovered should blackbeards or...
Thomas Beals or Dutch Schultz's secret stashes ever be discovered?
Will it be gold, jewels, or piles of money?
Oh, it's an intriguing thought that for now remains unexplained.
Stolen riches rumored to lie deep within a pope's castle.
A survivor of not just one, but two.
Atomic bomb attacks.
And a strange vision seemed floating among the wreckage of the devastating
attack on Pearl Harbor.
World War II.
The conflict that involved over 70 countries fighting on battlefields that
stretched across the globe. And now, eight decades after peace was declared,
there are still...
Many intriguing mysteries that surround the events of this remarkable period in
history. For example, what is the fate of a stolen artifact considered by
many to be the eighth wonder of the world?
And can miraculous survival stories be the work of divine intervention or
just plain good luck?
Well, that is what we'll try and find out.
September 1st, 1939.
As dawn breaks, Nazi Germany launches a surprise attack with one and a half
million soldiers,
2 ,500 tanks, and 2 ,000 warplanes.
This massive invasion marks the beginning of World War II.
After conquering Poland, Hitler expands German territory throughout Europe.
and steals billions of dollars in gold.
One of the things connected to Hitler's grand scheme of completely restructuring
Europe is loot. As Nazi Germany extended its control over most of continental
Europe, a great deal of acquisition of valuables went on.
And so they were just sort of grabbing anything that might be of value.
Nazi Germany.
had to be very minded toward the accumulation of gold as a resource that
going to help it win the war.
Their military went to war with the world and then stole a great deal of
from millions of people.
In April 1945, near the end of the war, the U .S. Army received intelligence
about a hidden stash of stolen Nazi gold in Markers, Germany.
There, in an abandoned salt mine, American soldiers discovered a jaw
fortune.
The US Army discovered the most astonishing hidden hoard of Nazi gold.
I mean, they literally walked in and were almost knee -deep in gold coins and
other treasures.
They couldn't believe their eyes.
And some total value was, by today's valuation,
$8 .5 billion worth.
And that's just in that one tunnel.
So it makes sense that there are other tunnels and other caves elsewhere that
have more Nazi gold.
Is there billions of dollars in stolen Nazi gold that has yet to be found?
And if so, where could it be?
Well, according to local legend, some of this vast treasure could still be
hidden where the war started.
In Poland.
During the closing weeks of World War II, the Germans are hurriedly trying to
evacuate things that have occupied Poland.
And there was a lot of stuff in the chaos at the end of the war.
It was being loaded up any way you could.
It's been spirited out of the country. And then a lot of valuables go missing.
And so that's where you get stories of things like the Nazi gold train.
The fabled Nazi gold train is one of the most enduring mysteries of World War II
and an obsession for treasure hunters around the world.
Legend has it that a Nazi train brimming with stolen gold and valuables
departed from Wroclaw, Poland in 1945.
And then it reportedly disappeared.
Without a trace.
As the story is told, they had a special train which was to transport the
contents, at least the most valuable contents.
It was armor -plated, and they had gun turrets on it, so it was very well
protected.
And it was filled with 300 tons of gold, bullion, and other valuables and
artwork that were loaded onto the train.
And the train is never seen again.
The belief is that that train carrying God only knows how much gold was on its
way between Roslav and a town called Walbrich.
And somewhere between Roslav and Walbrich, the train was sent onto a
where it was then ultimately stopped permanently and then buried to prevent
from falling into the enemy's hands.
Could the Nazi gold train really be buried somewhere near the 40 miles of
between these two Polish towns?
For Polish treasure hunter Michael Dembinski, this persistent local legend
fascinating mystery.
Did the Germans hide this train somewhere along the line? That is the
possibility that has intrigued treasure hunters for the best part of 80 years.
It's all about eyewitnesses, really. There's nothing on paper.
But this story was doing the rounds.
In Valdrich, if you talk to older people there, they will say, yes, but I
remember that story from childhood about these trains full of treasures that
have mysteriously disappeared.
Not only do the people of Valdrich distinctly remember the coal train.
They also say that during the German occupation, there was a stretch of train
track that branched off the main railway line and it led to a fortified location
that was under Nazi control.
A place called Kassage Castle.
Kassage Castle finds itself just outside of Fallbrich.
The castle itself is beautiful. It's a magnificent palace, really.
Now, very important in all of this is, The rumour that many, many people talk
about, that between Książ Castle itself and the main Wrocław to Walbrzych
railway line, there was a spur linking Książ Castle and the main line.
This is still to be confirmed, but there are enough rumours to suggest that this
actually was the case.
Książ Castle has been described as the Pearl of Lower Silesia in Poland.
It's a beautiful fairytale place.
that the Nazis certainly took a great interest in, not only above ground, but
below it.
Local people told the story of an underground city where they would have a
of Nazi -looted gold and treasures, and perhaps the great
legendary Nazi gold train.
This is crucial to the whole story because it was here that the Germans
building a top -secret complex of underground tunnels
and bunkers and caverns. And to this day, no one can really
come up with a good reason as to why the Nazis were so obsessed with completing
this project.
We don't know what the plan was for how this site was going to be used. All we
know is there's a massive underground network of tunnels and caves that were
being interlinked together, and that there might be a train with unimaginable
gold wealth on it, buried there in 1945.
A secret underground lair in the same region that the Nazi gold train was said
to disappear.
For many, it's just too coincidental to ignore.
But only about 10 % of this massive underground complex has been explored.
So even if the legendary Nazi gold frame was buried there, there's still no
guarantee it will ever be found.
The problem for treasure hunters in that area is where to start.
There are thousands upon thousands of tunnels.
and the difficulty is finding where they begin and end.
The tunnels branch off here and there, and some of them go underwater.
Each of them is extensive in size, and it really does beg the question, why
the Nazis doing this?
So in terms of further searches for the gold train, my hunch is that
it's going to be found under Change Castle.
Will further exploration of the winding tunnels beneath Kajar's castle finally
uncover the lost gold?
It's a fortune many treasure hunters would be lucky to find.
But what if luck came in the form of surviving the most destructive weapon in
human history, the atomic bomb?

Hiroshima, Japan, August 6, 1945.
8 .15 a .m.
29 -year -old engineer Tsutomu Yamaguchi is walking to work.
When a blinding flash, brighter than the sun, fills the sky.
He doesn't know it yet, but the world's first atomic bomb has just exploded over
the city with a force of 15 ,000 tons of TMT, creating a massive
shockwave that disintegrates everything in its path.
Instinctively, Tsutomu Yamaguchi raced into a ditch as an atomic fireball began
to pulverize almost everything in sight.
Like a gigantic hand from outer space coming down, crushing everything,
all structures away.
The bomb that exploded over Hiroshima was the most destructive force ever
unleashed in history.
80 ,000 people died instantly as temperatures approaching the surface of
vaporized their bodies and bathed the city in lethal radiation.
But astoundingly, despite being less than two miles from ground zero, Mr.
Yamaguchi somehow survived.
Mr. Yamaguchi was working in a big ship company called Mitsubishi.
And Mitsubishi shipyard had a headquarter in Nagasaki.
And towards the end of World War II, he was walking from his dormitory to the
shipyard to get some documentation.
And then he saw a strange B -29 flying.
And from the B -29, he saw the parachute, two, three parachute was
He saw the huge fireball coming from the ground, and it's like an eruption of
the volcano.
And then he passed out.
He woke up, and he didn't know how many minutes passed, but what he saw was a
huge pillar of the fire over the Hiroshima city.
Everything was bad.
There is ash falling from the sky.
And he realizes that his eardrums have been shattered and that he was burned by
the enormous amount of heat that came out of the blast.
He got a thousand times the dose of radiation that we experienced in one
year simply by walking on the surface of the Earth.
Anyone who was in that type of a radius from an atomic bomb would experience...
anywhere from 95 to 98 percent chance of dying due to all the different
dimensions of injury that are possible.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi's survival of the nuclear devastation at Hiroshima is
impossible to fathom.
But what's even more unbelievable is that just three days later, on August
9th, 1945, he did it again.
Yamaguchi is from Nagasaki.
After being atomic bombed, he wants to go back to meet his family.
So he gets on a train, travels 186 miles from Hiroshima to Nagasaki, and then
for a second time, he sees this flash of light coming from an atomic
detonation, the Nagasaki bomb.
And there's a repeat of the tragedy.
He was in his office.
with his supervisor and the colleagues.
And at that moment, the Nagasaki bomb blasted.
And he immediately ducked and hid under the table, under the desk.
So he survived, but his colleagues lost their lives.
More than 75 ,000 people died in the Nagasaki bombing.
Yet once again, Tsutomu Yamaguchi walked away from a deadly nuclear blast with
only minor injuries.
Even more incredibly, despite being exposed to a lethal dose of radiation
the second time in three days, he lived an otherwise healthy life before finally
dying at the age of 93.
Those two quick doses of radiation within three days of each other is
terrible. You would think it would have...
destroyed his body, his internal organs.
But somehow, this man had a system that was able to withstand it.
And so it shows that there's a lot more going on with our bodies, and they're
capable of a lot more than we may realize. It just takes these
circumstances to show us that.
From a medical perspective, it defies all of this.

Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam.
This active naval and Air Force base is also home to the Pearl Harbor National
Memorial, a hallowed site that draws nearly 2 million visitors every year.
At the heart of this historic landmark is a floating memorial.
built over the sunken wreckage of the USS Arizona battleship.
It is a solemn place to contemplate a dark day which will forever
live in infamy.
The morning of December 7th, a substantial Japanese fleet launched an
assault on the U .S. at Pearl Harbor.
The goal was to cripple the U .S. Pacific fleet so that they could not
Japanese plans for invasion across the Pacific.
They launched about 353 aircraft.
They attacked for about an hour and a half.
And over the period, they killed some 2 ,403 Americans, including
68 civilians.
And they damaged or destroyed 19 ships of the United States Navy.
The Arizona was one of the first ships to be attacked, and the very first
attack. Ten aircraft went after it, and they were dropping armor -piercing
aerial bombs.
One went through five decks into the Arizona, which had about a million
of gunpowder in it.
Caused an explosion so large that the ship's bulkheads blew outwards.
The entire 30 ,000 -ton ship was lifted bodily from the water and then sank very
quickly.
Fires burned for two days afterwards, making it almost impossible to engage in
recovery efforts.
And so 1 ,104 sailors and marines of the Arizona are still aboard. They went
down with the ship, and the remains were never removed.
So it is definitely a cemetery.
The names of the men who died on the USS Arizona are immortalized on a marble
wall at the Pearl Harbor Memorial.
And for over 80 years, the attack on Pearl Harbor has continued.
Haunt the American people.
With Pearl Harbor, we have a tragedy that's become part of our national
So when we see at Pearl Harbor, oh, this is where this happened or this is where
so -and -so was killed. I've got goosebumps right now just talking about
is a spiritual experience for anyone.
When you talk about Pearl Harbor, there are a lot of reports of ghost hauntings.
This is a location that saw so much death, so much tragedy, and now as
back, there's an energy that still permeates the area.
These are echoes of the past.
The people that died in the attack on Pearl Harbor died in horrible
circumstances. They were burned to death or drowned or both.
If any place was going to be haunted, Pearl Harbor is such a place.
Pearl Harbor is a graveyard.
But could it also be a home to restless spirits?
Some say yes, in light of the fact that both civilians and military personnel
have reported strange apparitions and supernatural phenomena throughout the
base. The most famous of which is a mysterious spirit referred to as
Reportedly, Charlie is this sort of benevolent, mischievous spirit.
Charlie's on Ford Island. So Ford Island is in the middle of Pearl Harbor.
And it was actually the first to be attacked in the battle.
So many people think of Ford Island as being haunted.
And according to the stories, sometimes a light will be left on that wasn't
supposed to, or a radio will turn on, or a station will just change.
And when that happens, they'll say, oh, that's just Charlie.
This is a spirit that's been around the area for a long, long time.
people attributed to somebody that perished there at Pearl Harbor.
So it's one of those things that really heightens that idea that Pearl Harbor is
haunted.
While encounters with Charlie have been reported on Ford Island for decades,
many visitors have also felt a ghostly presence near the wreckage of the USS
Arizona.
The USS Arizona Memorial is a very reverent location.
You can feel the fatness that is there, and they've done a really beautiful job
of creating this memorial so these sailors who lost their lives in such a
gruesome, horrific fashion can be remembered to this day.
You go out to this bridge -like structure, and there isn't a ship
It's underwater.
The water is fairly murky, but you can only sort of make out this, the kind of
vague outlines.
And you really have to examine things to figure out what you're looking at.
You have to keep in mind that what you're essentially standing over is a
That, to me, is the most important part.
When the Pearl Harbor attack occurred, the USS Arizona had just been topped off
the day before on all of its fluids.
So when it sank, over a million gallons of oil were trapped within the
superstructure.
And what's happening to this day is oil will rise to the surface, and they call
these the black tears of the USS Arizona.
This oil rises up, and it creates kind of a slick on the water, which you can
see from the memorial.
And occasionally people will see in the slick what appears to be like a ghostly
face. And some of the photos of these are truly haunting.
And, of course, it's not surprising that people would take that as being some
sort of representation.
of the agony of the men who died aboard the Arizona.
Skeptics may scoff at the idea of ghosts or things of this nature, but you
cannot deny that when you walk aboard that memorial, it is a powerful
experience. It's just a fascinating and unique piece of American history.
Is there a ghostly presence that haunts the harbor and circles the watery
wreckage of the USS Arizona?
Wow. Whether it's true or not, Pearl Harbor remains a powerful reminder of
tremendous sacrifices made during World War II.
But half a world away, there's an enigma that surrounds a location of very
different kind. It involves an entire room made of gold, jewels, and precious
stones that was taken from the Russians and has never been recovered.
How is it possible to hide something as lavish?
And famous as the Amber Room.

Pushkin, Russia.
In this suburban town stands the Catherine Palace.
Originally built in the 18th century as a summer home for the Russian royal
family, this palatial estate is one of the grandest, most opulent residences in
the world.
Each of its many rooms is considered a masterpiece of Baroque design.
But there's one special room in this palace that has become the center of a
modern -day treasure hunt.
It's known as the Amber Room.
The Amber Room was built for Peter the Great in Russia in the 18th century as
part of the Catherine Palace near St. Petersburg.
There was gold, yes. There were jewels, yes. But the main thing was amber,
wherever you looked, amber.
It was like a shrine to amber.
The Amber Room contains well over a thousand pounds of amber.
You know, what amber actually is, is petrified tree sap from pine trees,
is a very, very rare substance which is measured by the carrot.
In addition to the amber, you have gemstones.
You have gold leaf, gilding.
mirrors everywhere and candelabras. And while the candelabras are lit, you have
the sparkling light shimmering off all of these different mirrors and off of
these gemstones and the amber itself, which sort of glows under that light.
And it was obviously almost a transcendent experience to go into the
And it instantly became the talk of the world because it was...
ripping with opulence.
In the early 20th century, many referred to the Amber Room as the eighth wonder
of the world.
Its value has been estimated to be over 500 million in today's dollars.
But it's hard to appraise exactly how much it would be worth, because the
magnificent jewels and panels of the Amber Room were stolen.
On 22nd, 1941, Adolf Hitler launches Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi
invasion of the Soviet Union.
Within weeks, German troops lay siege to the city of St. Petersburg.
But Hitler's goal isn't only to capture the Russian city.
He's also fixated on taking the Amber Room for himself.
The Nazis were obsessed with looting valuable stuff.
Artworks, you name it, anything that was valuable.
So wherever they saw it, and let's not forget they occupied many, many
countries, they took it.
The German commandos, they knew exactly what they were doing, and in a mere 36
hours, pried these sheets of amber off the wall, packaged it
up into 27 crates, and it already had a destination in mind.
The Nazis put the 27 crates containing the Amber Room on a train and shipped
them to Konigsberg Castle in Germany.
The Amber Room was then put on display in the castle.
That is until August 1944, when the Allied forces
advanced into Germany, and the Nazis were forced to move the Amber Room yet
again to prevent it from being reclaimed by the Russians.
But no one knows for sure where they hid it.
For the Nazis, towards the end of the war, when they knew their number was up,
basically all their looted artworks and treasures were dispersed.
And they were hidden down silver mines or disused mines or caves.
That's the enduring mystery of the Amber Room. Was this put on a train and sent
into Germany? Was it sent up into the Alps? Was it sunk into a lake? Would it
into a salt mine?
There are a tantalizing number of possible locations
for what became of it.
Where did the Nazis hide the Amber Room?
And could that secret location be where it still is today, more than 75 years
later?
According to many researchers, the best clue as to the whereabouts of the Amber
Room came from a Nazi war criminal named Eric Koch.
Eric Koch was Gauleiter of East Prussia.
That's the sort of equivalent of governor of that whole region.
And he was one of the most unyielding, brutal of any of the Nazis.
He was the one who put the Amber Room on display in the castle.
He also ordered it crated up to be saved as the Soviets were approaching and was
arrested as he was trying to get on a submarine bound for South America and
sentenced to death, only he was not executed.
And part of the reason he was not executed is that he was perhaps the
only person who really knew what happened to the Amber Room.
In 1986, Eric Koch died of natural causes in a Polish prison.
But according to eyewitness accounts, before his death, Koch was seen leading
Polish authorities on a search for the Amber Room at a former Nazi military
near the town of Mimerki, Poland, which is located just 80 miles southeast of
Konigsberg.
Based on the fact that you have eyewitnesses, the most tantalizing new
is that the Amber Room is somehow hidden in the former Nazi army
headquarters in Mimarki in Poland.
This is an important site where you have these massive cement bunker
buildings.
So a very compelling argument could be made that that's where the Amber Room

In 1940, the Amber Room was never recovered.
And since that time, it's never recovered.
And since that time, many have wondered where the Nazis hid the treasure.
In recent years, some researchers have suggested that the Amber Room could
possibly be hidden beneath a former Nazi military base located in Mamerki,
Poland.
And on June 27, 2019, a team of local researchers lifted a concrete slab from
the ground in the area of the base, revealing a narrow, unexplored tunnel.
Some believe that this discovery suggests that the base may, in fact,
treasure stolen by the Nazis.
Historians don't know, actually, how extensive this tunneling is. I mean, you
literally could have miles of this stuff.
So, of course, the speculation is that maybe this is where the Amber Room is.
Because it's only a couple hours' drive from Konigsberg, you could easily have
put those crates on a truck and brought it to this Nazi facility.
Could underground tunnels below the Nazi base be the true hiding place of the
priceless pieces of the Amber Room?
According to local historian Bartek Plebancik, the answer is yes.
Bartek has spent years exploring numerous tunnels that are already known
connect more than 30 bunkers and fortifications throughout the base.
It is his belief that in addition to these structures, there may be a larger
network of secret tunnels that lie even deeper underground.
This tunnel is 30 meters long. It's connecting two bunkers, like an
channel between those two bunkers.
Unfortunately, this is the only one channel we could find in America right
But with modern equipment, we're still looking for other channels like this.
Hopefully, maybe with Amber Room inside.
Because Bartek and his associates have already found evidence of previously
undiscovered tunnels in the forest area near the base, he is utilizing ground
-penetrating radar to gather more information.
about what lies below.
I'm looking for the Amber Room in Mamerki for almost five years from now.
I hope that someday I will find something in the area because each year
improve my search and a few months ago I found this technical tunnel with my
georadar so I believe that in the next few months I will be able to go deeper
into the ground.
and then the chance that we will dig something spectacular are very high.
Will further investigation at Memerki reveal the lost Amber Room?
Perhaps. But some researchers suggest that the crates containing the Amber
aren't hidden beneath a decaying Nazi bunker, but rather beneath the icy
of the Baltic Sea, inside the wreck of a German cargo ship.
named the SS Karlsruhe.
A group of divers from a company called Baltic Tech found the Karlsruhe wreck at
the bottom of the Baltic Sea in the fall of 2020.
The Karlsruhe is a really interesting case.
Königsberg Castle was located on the shores of the Baltic Sea, and so it was
well positioned for the evacuation.
When the Red Army descended upon this area, and the Nazis knew that the gig
up.
If there was anything remaining in Königsberg Castle that had not yet been
evacuated, it was going out on that ship.
The Karlsruhe was unfortunately sunk by Soviet aircraft.
Fully laden, had about a thousand people on board, and possibly with cargo
including the 27 crates containing the Amber Room.
The study is continuing to understand exactly what is contained in this ship,
but there are many who are hopeful that the 27 boxes containing the Amber Room
are among its hidden treasures.
We now recognize the importance of art and artifacts to
the identity of a nation. That to steal the art and artifacts...
of a nation is to erase that culture.
So I wish Russia the best in getting that amber room back
because of what it will mean to the people.

Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, England, September 1939.
Shortly after the outbreak of World War II, British military intelligence
establishes a top -secret base at this secluded country estate.
Referred to as Station X, it is home to a hand -picked team of brilliant
mathematicians who are charged with cracking an infamous German encoding
called the Enigma machine.
The Enigma machine is an electromechanical ciphering device for
text message in such a way that it cannot be deciphered or decoded.
When communicating with an Enigma machine, an operator can key in a plain
message that's encoded by the device that can then be transmitted as alphabet
gobbledygook to the other operator who receives it.
And through adjusting a series of rotors and plug boards, the receiving end can
then turn that alphabet soup into a coherent message.
But anybody that's listening in won't be able to make sense of the message.
Enigma was such a successful cipher that it took a Herculean effort to break it.
At the peak of British decryption efforts, nearly 9 ,000 personnel.
worked tirelessly at Bletchley Park and its substations to try and crack German
ciphers. And then, finally, a breakthrough came when mathematician
realized that the Enigma machine had a critical flaw.
The Enigma machine had one big weakness, and the weakness was that a letter
cannot be encoded as itself.
So if it's the letter A...
No matter what, the Enigma machine will never make it the letter A.
So you automatically know what letter it is not.
You're able to work from that.
Alan Turing came up with the idea of we could automate the process of running
through all the possibilities of what letter this might be.
He worked with another person by the name of Gordon Welchman to come up with
device that they called the BOM device.
And the bomb device was simply an electromechanical device that was
run through a vast number of possibilities to see if you're capable
what you think the message setting might be.
And the bomb device, by 1941, was cracking Enigma -encoded messages every
And so at Bletchley Park, they would crack Enigma, and then the clock would
strike midnight.
and they'd have to crack it all over again. And that's how it went every day.
Alan Turing's and Gordon Welshman's bomb device was quickly mass -produced and
utilized by coat -crackers across the globe.
The one -ton machine deciphered codes on a day -to -day basis from 1940 to 1945.
All the while, Germany was unaware that their Enigma machine had been
outsmarted.
Ultimately, it was the breaking of Germany's unbreakable code that would
lead the Allies to victory.
Breaking the Enigma secret ended the Battle of the Atlantic once and for all.
And that's because now Allied forces could understand where German U -boats
operating on the map.
And the U -boat during World War II was Nazi Germany's one and only strategic
weapon.
That was the only weapon they had that in and of itself could have won that
And it didn't happen because Alan Turing and the staff of people in Hut 8 at
Bletchley Park cracked German naval enigma.
And in so doing, they shortened that war by probably two years, and they
probably saved about a million lives.
What's the human fascination with solving codes and ciphers? The key.
To winning World War II?
Perhaps.
But in any case, cracking the notorious Enigma code saved millions of lives from
the Nazi war machine.
With more than 127 million people mobilized to fight, World War II was the
largest and deadliest conflict in human history.
And while many of the secrets surrounding the Second World War have
revealed,
How many more mysteries might still lie hidden and remain
unexplained?
