The theme of treasure hunting, and with it pirates, chests with countless treasures and dungeons, has been exciting humanity since the time of the pharaohs. But the treasures of the Second World War are treasures of a different kind, although here, too, events often unfolded in deep dungeons, and the methods for extracting these treasures are akin to pirates. What is still lurking at the bottom of the alpine lake Toplitzsee? Where did the letter train disappear, carrying gold bars and paintings worth millions of dollars from Budapest? Where is the authentic spear of Emperor Otto III kept? Is it destined to find the Amber Room? What secret cargoes and where did Doenitz's submarines take out in the spring of 1945? These and many other questions asked in the book are still waiting to be answered. So far, only one thing is clear: researchers are waiting for a lot of the most unexpected finds.
