WWII Trucks With 100 Tons of Gold Found Buried West of Moscow

A German engineer is claiming to have found trucks loaded with 100 tons of gold, silver and jewels buried near a village south-west of Moscow.

The unnamed engineer said he had used ground-penetrating radar to find the location of the trucks laden with riches from the Bank of Smolensk, which had been emptied by Soviet forces during WWII in order to prevent the Nazis looting them.

Bild newspaper in Germany reported on the story Monday morning stating: "The man is an engineer and through his lawyer says he found the missing trucks at the risk of his own life."
