Hochberg Palace hiding Nazi gold?

Researchers looking for billions in lost Nazi treasure say a 16th century German castle in Poland is where as much as 28 tonnes of gold and other treasures are buried. The Hochberg Palace, situated in the village of Roztoka, Lower Silesia, about 40 km north of the Czech border, is one of 11 locations described in the diary of SS Standartenfuhrer Egon Ollenhauer. The diary was kept in a German Freemason lodge in Saxony-Anhalt for decades, its existence revealed last year, after the last of the Nazis connected with it died.

According to the diary, underneath the palace, in a room at the bottom of a blasted well shaft, Reichsbank gold bars and other treasures from Breslau worth as much as $1.54 billion in today’s dollars may be buried. The loot, said to have been deposited by the Waffen SS, is now thought to be buried under the castle, along with the corpses of eyewitnesses who observed or heard the operation to destroy the well shaft.
