Poland: Has Nazi gold 'treasure train' mystery finally been solved?

Polen warns rumoured nazi gold may be boobby-trapped!
WARSAW:
Poland’s government on Thursday warned treasure-hunters that the Nazi “gold train” allegedly discovered in the country’s west is probably booby-trapped.
Local media have for days been abuzz with old lore of trains full of gold and jewels stolen by the Nazis after two men — a German and a Pole — claimed to have found an armoured train car in the southwestern city of Walbrzych.
“There may be hazardous substances dating from the Second World War in the hidden train, which I’m convinced exists,” culture ministry secretary of state Piotr Zuchowski said in a statement.

“There’s a huge probability that the train is booby-trapped.”
He said there has been a marked increase in treasure-hunting in the Walbrzych area since the “discovery of the so-called gold train”.
“I urge the public to stop searching for the train until official procedures to secure the find are completed.”
The region has for years attracted treasure-hunters inspired by old rumours that the Third Reich had stashed its valuables in secret underground passages near Walbrzych.
Nazi Germany had concentration camp inmates build the huge tunnels — code-named Riese (Giant) — to be used as production spaces for German strategic weapons, as the site was safe from Allied air raids.
Portions of the tunnels are now open to tourists.
Walbrzych deputy mayor Zygmunt Nowaczyk told reporters Wednesday that the exact location of the train was being kept under wraps, as were .
Ditto for the identities of the two men responsible for the discovery.
Their lawyer Jaroslaw Chmielewski said they had provided local authorities with a description of the train carriage, which is allegedly 120-150 metres (400-500 feet) long and armoured.
Local Radio Wroclaw said the men are asking for 10 percent of whatever may be found on the train, though Chmielewski said they are skeptical it contains gold.
“These are serious people… What they presented during our talk makes me believe this business (of the train) is very credible,” Chmielewski told the Polish news portal Onet.
“My clients are however skeptical as to whether it is really the famous (Nazi) train” packed with gold and other precious objects, he said.
“But we also can’t completely exclude the possibility.”

SUMMARY
=======
Polish culture during World War II was suppressed by the occupying powers of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, both of whom were hostile to Poland's people and cultural heritage. Policies aimed at cultural genocide resulted in the deaths of thousands of scholars and artists, and the theft and destruction of innumerable cultural artifacts. The maltreatment of the Poles was one of many ways in which the Nazi and Soviet regimes had grown to resemble one another, wrote British historian Niall Ferguson.The occupiers looted and destroyed much of Poland's cultural and historical heritage, while persecuting and murdering members of the Polish cultural elite. Most Polish schools were closed, and those that remained open saw their curricula altered significantly.
Nevertheless, underground organizations and individuals – in particular the Polish Underground State – saved much of Poland's most valuable cultural treasures, and worked to salvage as many cultural institutions and artifacts as possible. The Catholic Church and wealthy individuals contributed to the survival of some artists and their works. Despite severe retribution by the Nazis and Soviets, Polish underground cultural activities, including publications, concerts, live theater, education, and academic research, continued throughout the war.

SUMMARY
=======
The history of Poland from 1945 to 1989 spans the period of Soviet dominance and communist rule imposed after the end of World War II over Poland, as reestablished within new borders. These years, while featuring general industrialization and urbanization and many improvements in the standard of living, were marred by social unrest, political strife and severe economic difficulties.
Near the end of World War II, the advancing Soviet Red Army pushed out the Nazi German forces from occupied Poland. In February 1945, the Yalta Conference sanctioned the formation of a provisional government of Poland from a compromise coalition, until postwar elections. Joseph Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union, manipulated the implementation of that ruling. A practically communist-controlled Provisional Government of National Unity was formed in Warsaw by ignoring the Polish government-in-exile based in London since 1940.
During the subsequent Potsdam Conference in July–August 1945, the three major Allies ratified the colossal westerly shift of Polish borders and approved its new territory between the Oder–Neisse line and Curzon Line. Following the destruction of the Polish-Jewish population in the Holocaust, the flight and expulsion of Germans in the west, resettlement of Ukrainians in the east, and the repatriation of Poles from Kresy, Poland became for the first time in its history an ethnically homogeneous nation-state without prominent minorities. The new government solidified its political power over the next two years, while the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) under Bolesław Bierut gained firm control over the country, which would become part of the postwar Soviet sphere of influence in Central and Eastern Europe.
Following Stalin's death in 1953, a political thaw in the Soviet sphere allowed a more liberal faction of the Polish communists, led by Władysław Gomułka, to gain power. By the mid-1960s, Poland began experiencing increasing economic as well as political difficulties. They culminated in the 1968 Polish political crisis and the 1970 Polish protests, when a consumer price hike led to a wave of strikes. The government introduced a new economic program based on large-scale borrowing from the West, which resulted in a rise in living standards and expectations, but the program meant growing integration of Poland's economy with the world economy and it faltered after the 1973 oil crisis. In 1976, the government of Edward Gierek was forced to raise prices again and this led to the June 1976 protests.
This cycle of repression and reform and the economic-political struggle acquired new characteristics with the 1978 election of Karol Wojtyła as Pope John Paul II. Wojtyła's unexpected elevation strengthened the opposition to the authoritarian and ineffective system of nomenklatura-run state socialism, especially with the pope's first visit to Poland in 1979. In early August 1980, a new wave of strikes resulted in the founding of the independent trade union Solidarity (Polish Solidarność) led by electrician Lech Wałęsa. The growing strength and activity of the opposition caused the government of Wojciech Jaruzelski to declare martial law in December 1981. However, with the reforms of Mikhail Gorbachev in the Soviet Union, increasing pressure from the West, and dysfunctional economy, the regime was forced to negotiate with its opponents. The 1989 Round Table Talks led to Solidarity's participation in the 1989 election. Its candidates' striking victory gave rise to the first of the succession of transitions from communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe. In 1990, Jaruzelski resigned from the presidency of the Republic of Poland; following the presidential election, he was succeeded by Wałęsa.
