It is said that one morning in 1943, a high-speed motorboat force loaded with treasures and works of art sailed out of the Mediterranean, and after being intercepted, sank into corsican waters as directed.
Meanwhile, Rommel's right-hand man, Colonel Deman, led a convoy full of gold jewelry and art secretly drove to Douz, a small town deep in the Sahara Desert, at night. Here, 670 camels were used, and after two days of going deep into the desert for two days, the treasure was buried in a secret location. However, no one expected that on the way back, no one survived the ambush of the British army. So the exact location of the treasure is unknown. This is the final news about the treasure of Rommel.
Rommel was a famous general during World War II, known as the "Desert Fox". Every time the German army occupies a region and plunders all the wealth, it will first loot all the banks, gold, foreign exchange, and political power in this area, in addition to these, works of art and cultural relics will not be spared, and there are records alone, and the cultural relics shipped back to Germany from all over Europe are filled with 137 trucks, a total of 4174 boxes, and the precious paintings alone are as high as 10890 pairs, including many famous masterpieces.
Oil paintings of artwork looted by the Nazis
In addition, Rommel's main battlefield is on the North African continent, and since 1941, almost all countries in North Africa have been looted, and the treasures and relics in museums, churches, and temples have been almost looted. A great deal of wealth was plundered in a short period of time, and all but some of it was transported back to Berlin, and the rest became Rommel's private collection, which contained a total of 90 large wooden chests.
In 1944, Rommel committed suicide by poisoning before the defeat of Germany, and no one has known the clues to the treasure since.
But for this treasure of Rommel, the western adventurers were not willing to let it hide from now on. Therefore, they spared no expense, sent experts, consulted secret files, and looked for insiders.
Decades have passed, and from the Sahara Desert to the waters of Corsica, these treasure hunters have returned empty-handed every time, but they have enjoyed it and lost many battles. The treasures were still safely in a secret place, waiting for their relatives.
