What have the Germans hidden in Poland? [28]
A few years back i met an old German guy in Polczyn zdroj..During the war his army unit was heading from Drawsko pomorskie towards the Baltic coast when their trucks full of amunition were stopped by an ss unit..
They were ordered to unload the ammunition , which was urgently needed , and to load into the trucks some boxes which contained gold bars , he is not sure if all the boxes contained gold , he only saw into one which was damaged , it seems the ss units own trucks had been shot up by a Russian fighter...
During the drive towards Polczyn news came that the Russians had cut the road between them and the town , and there was now a Russian tank regiment in their path , so the trucks were once again unloaded and the boxes burried at the roadside...
My German friend does not know what happened to the boxes after that as they parted company with the ss men , and these men all later died in a battle with the Russians further up the road..The Russians did not take ss prisoners , and the ss were not prone to surrendering...
So.... are these boxes still at the roadside somewhere between my farm and Polczyn zdroj , or did somebody come back and get them , did the Russians find them , or maybe some lucky Polish farmer...and yes..if i had a metal dectector i would go and have a look...
