Nazi volcano tunnels could be hiding top secret Gestapo documents

 

Nazi tunnels inside an old volcano could be hiding top secret Gestapo documents, say a group of historical researchers in Poland.

The Association of Lovers of Upper Lusatia say they discovered a document in a local archive which is a blueprint for the tunnels in the town of Luban in southern Poland.

But although several attempts have been made to explore the tunnels with expeditions revealing several shafts going down into the inactive volcano, many have remained inaccessible.

This has now raised hopes that they were used to store valuable items.

The group’s Sebastian Terenda told The First News: ‘On the sketch it is marked as an air-raid shelter, but the tunnels are 3 by 3 metres, and air-raid shelters were normally 1.6 by 1.8 metres.

‘It’s height and width make it excellent for storage.’

The possible existence of the documents known as the Kraków Gestapo Archive comes from the testimony of a Gestapo officer called Kurt Heinemeyer.  (more...)
