[@Zohdj127]

The US must have taken it all

[@edwardandrade4390]

So finally we are getting some answers. How about the religious stuff the germans stole. Like the spear the people say killed "god"? This one is priceless to find

[@upholdsanity3759]

Some of our family art collection and treasures are within Russia out of east Germany. Gone forever.

[@jasonpowers9988]

Nice.

[@hansvonschlader8227]

How old is this video, its was discovered years ago that the Americans took out literally tons of gold before it was counted or weighed. Plus this is only 1 location

[@deadahead8701]

If I was the commander “ well boys we didn’t find anything did we?”

[@jasmyshahdi5272]

No.. boss.. we did not find anything !!!

[@JSL-07]

Ok boss...5 gold bars for me

[@androkiboi]

can I take one empty crate sir?

[@dexter23foxy]

Help yourself sir

[@datony337]

Do we see something here boys "nooope"... That's how the whole conversation went.

[@John_Conner222]

I can guarantee you 100% if I was there as a GI after years of fighting in the mud and watching friends die that I would slip a bar or two in between some bag liners. I can also bet that some of those first soldiers did the same. If they did, I am not mad at them. They earned it.

[@Ray19888]

They deserve alot more.

[@lucasdobson8344]

Us guys Canadian guys my grandfather told me them boys tock things would not say what but we know they did

[@rodneyferneding3084]

There was some gold bars found inside tanks when doing restore on them

[@jimjk963]

The would be dead right to take it. Cause the high ups took there fair share in sure

[@bluntforce8749]

It makes u wonder if there are bunkers still out there hidden

[@Lilstanklegss]

They definitely have more treasures hidden out there. My first hint would be to search South America.

[@alexkoronec4326]

Yes,I believe that there are hidden bunkers out there, along with hidden objects still waiting to be discovered

[@valvlog4665]

Gold and silver hoards are still being found today from the Saxon period. The Staffordshire Hoard in England likely deposited between 650-675 CE. (1373 years ago) turned up 5.1 kg of gold, and 1.4 kg of silver. And 131 gold coins from Anglo-Saxon England, buried around AD 600, was found in 2021 in West Norfolk, England. 1 kg or gold today traded at £49,005.85 / $60,000.

[@Disneymagic24]

there most definetly are. i mean think of how many are either buried or completely sealed shut

[@levijones4529]

Makes ya think where is room 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7....

[@bobgall6764]

This is on the History channel? That means aliens took the rest of the gold!

[@tomwilson3969]

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.

[@jdl7666]

Yesss

[@theskeptic2010]

G.I.s in the hidden room: "Sir, we've done an inventory, and there are 5000 gold bars" The GIs CO: "Sir, we've found 4000 gold bars in the mine" General reporting to Allied command: "We have found a hoard of 2500 gold bars in the mine"

[@9pktheories]

imagine it gets to the general he reports were in debt for 25 gold bars now lol

[@mortimusmaximus8725]

The rest of the gold, went to Switzerland.

If the Russians had found that place first, no one would have ever heard about this.

[@levonvardanyan3478]

Lolll soo true

[@josephstalin2138]

lol same thing with the americans, like this documentation says, more than half is missing. Wont be surprised if the Americans took that half for themselves.

[@danielslocum7169]

they probabl found the other 1/2 hidden somewhere else [the russians that is],

[@TheNavalAviator]

@@josephstalin2138 I would be. Why would they leave half of it there?

[@az6877]

Trust me the fact that you heard of it after all those years means nothing-all german gold in states and will never be back to Germany.

[@myblueandme]

3:49 Cameraman knew this secret and was waiting for Americans to come

[@RifullOfTheWest]

I know of a location where there are 30+ WW2 German fighters still sitting in a bunker in Bavaria, Germany, booby trapped with large aerial bombs, and has a possibility of holding treasure. I tried contacting the history channel several times but they dont even want to hear the location lol. They said I need an attorney to tell them my story and i'm like..(walks backward) ok

[@victorguzman9032]

Where? Can people get the treasure?

[@turkey0165]

Balmhuader ?

[@119jle]

I found it three years ago. I bought a mansion in to countries.

[@jamessparks9167]

That would be an Adventure I would like to take part in. At 61 years old I might not have many left.

If they need Gold Diggers, you can find a few in Miami :)

Don’t forget San Francisco, Seattle, New York ,Chicago! Like illegal Mexicans they’re everywhere!

[@dominicjguerrieri]

This was a great video to learned something new

[@tylerthegamer8766]

Hey Private Miller, is that a load of gold, or are you just happy to see me?

[@jackiechapman8189]

Gr8 video and content... It intrigues me to what happened to all that gold... I have a theory of where it is and why it's there!!!

[@nancypatterson2215]

There was a documented incident where a few American soldiers actually plundered gold from a german royal family in Barvarea. The Germans stored the gold & precious jewels in a fake wall in the basement behind a wine cellar. A US soldier shipped the gold bars, a little bit at a time, back home to his family.

[@EmstineTV]

Lesson well digest thanks for the research

[@neilc7101]

“ No one knows where the rest went”...... hasn’t this guy ever seen Kelly’s Heroes ? Oddball bought a Tiger tank... to this day Moriarity is still being negative about that. Kelly, the rest of the guys and probably the German dudes skipped to Switzerland Mystery solved.

To anyone who is curious the projected amount of $598 million in 1945 is worth $9,971,045,281 today in 2023.

[@shauncampbell969]

This was short. Interesting.

[@Bart-Did-it]

Wow that picture .

[@ignaciosoler8963]

5:01 "So where was the rest of it?" Me: On a "Train"!

[@raykehr1832]

I missed my chance. Use to live on the Treasure Coast and never looked. Friend found a gold coin that looked 300 years old or so.

[@iceswallow7717]

where did he find it? metal detecting?

[@gordonhopkins4658]

2:17 turns the handle like he is unlocking the vault, but the door is clearly open!!!!

[@incognitoburrito6006]

Can you imagine coming across that when they came through the wall

[@DFox-ud3gx]

Remember Kelly's Heroes movie it was about the gold also.

[@benkrauz725]

I was just going to say this🤣

[@tedperry6466]

Why don't you knock it off with the negative waves. Why don't you say something righteous. You got to love Odd Ball. The only hippie ever to serve in WW2 LOL

[@robertmeza3532]

Can you imagine all the gold fillings

[@jboulet07]

My guess as to where some of it went would be Antarctica...some went home with a few GI's, and the rest went to the American government, somewhere hidden. Gold does not simply disappear.

[@jonathanpasch6604]

Should go after the Japanese gold. There's a hull of alot more

[@nikepop3763]

Was it the Yamashita Treasure?

When the thief looking for thief's treasure 🤣🤣

[@turkey0165]

I would love to metal detect if it hasn’t already been done already that room number eight just in case they missed a few!

[@clarabehnke]

Just a little correction. There never was as any battle nearby Merkers during or after WW2, in fact the people who lived there, threw all the munition, stored in the town, in the nearby river, hung white flags outside of their windows and one them went, to negotiate with the approaching troups.

[@theemporersnewclothes]

More important are the lives lost in the final solution....

That gold will do me good. Thanks

A lot went to Argentina. Probably on board the U boat that people witness ran aground on a beach then Germans getting out of it. Hunting Hitler was a great series!

[@DrewPicklesTheDark]

Everyone is always curious about the gold. The gold was/would probably just be confiscated and added to a treasury (or stolen during the chaos), I am more curious about the Blutfahne personally. It's probably in a vault at the Kremlin or something.

[@TheSilmarillian]

Yes indeed I wonder if it still exists have a feeling it may

[@darlynedahn576]

Wow!!!

What happened to the rest of the gold? Ask the Monuments Men!

Gold is valuable because society decided it should be. Go anywhere in the world and present gold and you'll have the atmost access.

[@fishfarmingsector747]

Which country currently has this gold?

[@billybarnes9208]

I know if I had been a solider there II would have been so rich. I would have smuggled some home. When I had sold some then went back where we'd stashed the rest of it . .May God bless them boy's!

[@jeffeshbaugh3341]

It would be hard to sneak a 80 pound gold bar out of the mine obvious the soldier had something heavy on him and then try and get it back to the states.

[@aleksandr678]

Some of it was moved to the Philippines together with the yamashita treasure. But the treasure is also missing here, some of it was found.

[@119jle]

Nope. Marcus stole it. Built wealth. And you voted his son in. Shame!
