Twenty eight tonnes of Nazi gold worth more than £1billion may have been traced to the grounds of a palace in Poland after the location was mentioned in an SS diary.
The stash of gold bars, jewellery and coins is believed to be sitting 200ft down at the bottom of a destroyed well shaft in the grounds of the Hochberg Palace, near the city of Wroclaw.
Researchers from the Polish-German Silesian Bridge Foundation, who claim to have acquired the diary from a masonic lodge, say the treasure was buried in the final days of the Second World War along with the corpses of several witnesses.
28 tonnes of Nazi gold potentially worth £1.25billion could be hidden at the bottom of a destroyed well shaft at this palace in southern Poland, researchers claim
The gold is believed to have come from the vault of the Reichsbank in nearby Wroclaw - what was then Breslau - and was hidden to keep it from falling into Russian hands
Treasure hunters claim the location was revealed in the diary of an SS officer in charge of hiding it (pictured, right). The diary is allegedly written by Egon Ollenhauer, an officer who helped hide Nazi treasures at Hitler's behest
