In Poland, five entrances to the secret network of tunnels were found in Poland on the site of the former headquarters of the Eastern Army of Nazi Germany. It is assumed that underground corridors can lead to a lost amber room or other treasures of wartime. It is reported by Daily Mail.
Five entrances were found in the forest in the northeast of the republic, not far from the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. The uncharted system of tunnels is described by researchers as the largest discovery, ever made in the forestry and bunker complex Museum Museum.
Underground communications on the territory of a total area of about 200 hectares found volunteers and employees of the World War II Museum.
Bartlomie Plebanczyk employee (Bartlomiej Plebanczyk) stated that “judging by the separation of inputs, the tunnel has a length of about 50 meters, but maybe longer.”
Some of the tunnels were flooded, rather it was done intentionally to disguise moves. Therefore, experts have a difficult task of cleaning passes before researchers can see what is in mysterious underground corridors.
Plebanechik suggested that there you can find interesting artifacts of the Second World War, which Germans wanted to hide. “The tunnel is part of a previously unknown system of underground corridors, requiring cautious penetration. Perhaps this is an ideal place to hide the treasures,” he said, adding that the study of the tunnels is scheduled for the second half of June.
Also, noted the Potbanechik, it is impossible to exclude the likelihood that the corridors lead to the amber room, the masterpiece of art of the XVIII century, without a trace lost during World War II.
Amber room was created by German masters for the Prussian King Friedrich I and donated by the Russian king Peter I in the 1700s. In the decoration of the room, Amber was mainly used – a large cabinet consisted of amber panels, covered with jewels, jewelry, mirrors and gold. 450 kilograms of amber gone to create these panels. The room was stolen by the Nazis and mysteriously disappeared at the end of World War II.
Last time the Amber Room, exported by the Germans in September 1941 from the Catherine Palace, was seen in Kaliningrad (at that time Königsberg). For certain reasons, the relics could not be evacuated to the occupation of the German-fascist troops of the suburbs of Leningrad.
There were many rumors about the possible location of the room: so it was reported that the amber room was hidden in a tunnel under the castle in the Polish city of Palubek and in the caves under Dresden.
In May of this year, Polish experts will engage in research on the place of the death of the steamer “Karlsruhe”, on which the Amber Room was believed in the last year of war.
