The Second World War was a tragic war, in fact, every international war brought many disasters to people, in the war countless people will lose money, lose their homes and even lose their lives, that is, in the Second World War, the Nazis have captured countless treasures from the countries they invaded.
And after the war began to lose, they realized that their things might not be safe, so they secretly transferred these treasures and items to other places, and these treasures have been hidden, and until now there are still many things that have not been discovered.
One of them was very shocking when people found it, and it hit directly."
Mercks Treasure
"The scene was opened: ten tons of banknotes, 250 tons of gold, 110 bags of jewelry, let's uncover the secrets of this treasure."
(i) The source of Mercks's treasure
According to historical records, the Mercks Treasure is the largest Nazi treasure found so far, when this place was discovered, it was full of various treasures, and hundreds of sacks had been found in the salt mine, which contained German marks, which showed that the Nazis really plundered a lot of money at that time.
The reason why it was named the Mercks Treasure is because the place where it was found was a small village in Germany, this village is called Mercks, and when this batch of treasures was found, it was also very magical, what happened after the Americans occupied this village.
At that time, the U.S. army found two women in the evening to find a doctor for the pregnant women who were about to give birth, and then kindly helped them, and then learned that there were suspicious vehicles passing through the village before, and finally the Mercks treasure appeared, so it was also a treasure obtained by chance.
When the U.S. army learned of this situation, it sent leaders to look around, and it was photographed at that time, which showed how much people at that time were eager for treasure, but although the treasure was good, it was also obtained by capturing and encroaching on others in war, so even if it could be obtained, it was ill-gotten wealth.
(ii) Uncover the scene where the treasure was discovered
It was a spectacular sight when the treasure was discovered, and in the passages of the salt mines, sacks filled with cash were found, which were densely packed with paper money, and if you think that the treasure is these, you are wrong, the money may be just the tip of the iceberg of the treasure.
As the salt mine continued to go deeper, we could see that there was a specially installed security door inside, which showed that there should be more valuable items in addition to the cash, and sure enough, after the US army blew open this security door, it was found that there were countless gold bars and jewels inside.
These things are packed in wooden boxes, one after another in this small place, it looks like a treasure trove, no wonder so many people want to get the Nazi treasure house, this is really a treasure that many people have never seen in their lives, and everywhere you look are sacks and wooden boxes containing money.
At the beginning, the Nazi Party scattered these things for storage, and kept these things in different places, so that they could be used in the future revival, but it seems that these treasures will be owned by the state, and after painstakingly hiding so many treasures, there is no way to belong to themselves.
Of course, the treasure is not only these money that can be used directly, in the treasure it is said that there are many works of art, such as some paintings, etc., these paintings can be said to be one of the few famous paintings in the world, if placed at the auction site may be more than these cash, these valuable things are found and do not know whether it is a good or bad result.
But we have to say that these valuable things were hidden in such a place by the Nazi Party, but these things were saved from the destruction of war, which is also very fortunate for art, when the war really broke out, no one will care whether this thing is valuable or not, even people can kill it, let alone a work of art.
(iii) The egregious behavior of the Nazis in terms of the contents of the treasure
In addition to the above-mentioned things, there were many countless gold and silver treasures in this huge treasure trove, and it took a lot of trucks to run back and forth to transport these things many times before these things were smoothly transferred out of this salt mine, and these things may really be an important resource for the Nazis to revive in the future.
The most incredible thing about the treasure is that there is also a box full of gold rings and gold teeth, which are said to be from the residents captured by the Nazi Party, many of which are from the Jews, and it can be said that the Nazis were a nightmare for all the people at that time, it was a devil-like existence.
After the Nazis captured the captives, they forced them to hand over all their belongings, not only that, but also looted all the valuable items in the invaded places, and took them all away and collected them, and the historical records recorded that the precious paintings and works of art reached tens of thousands, which shows how much they are hungry and dissatisfied.
At the same time, people's speculation about these treasures is also different, and many people say that the reason why the Nazis were able to obtain so many treasures was because there were other countries secretly helping, of which Switzerland was such a neutral country, and many people would think that Switzerland was an accomplice of the Nazi Party that gave them so much treasure.
Of course, this statement is not unreasonable, it is said that at that time a lot of money flowed to Swiss banks, and most of these funds were plundered by the Nazi Party at that time, many people said that there were many countries involved at that time, and they all gained a lot of wealth from it, although they did not know whether it was true or false, but they could also see the cruelty of the war.
Those invaders rely on plunder to increase their wealth and do not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of others, this is war, whether they win or lose, there will be bloodshed and sacrifices, in the history textbooks we can learn the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Nazis and other invaders, the people are even more unhappy, they have become victims of war.
Although this wealth is already very amazing, and it is the largest part of the treasure that has been discovered, there are still people who think that these may be only a small part, and the Nazi wealth must be far more than this, it is really breathtaking, and it is really infuriating to choose such a way to invade in order to be able to make a better life for yourself.
It is said that because some people do not believe that this is all the wealth, there are still people in some remote villages in Germany looking for the wealth left by the Nazi Party, they firmly believe that they will be the lucky one, but for such a treasure, even if you find it, you dare not enjoy it, and the money stained with people's blood is chilling.
