NAZI "HOLY GRAIL" FOUND?

[Dr Doran]

For all you Indiana Jones fans.

Looks a bit like the Gundestrup cauldron to me ...

Perhaps it's not too late for a re-write on the new Indiana Jones movie. Nazi gold=box office gold?

Thanks for the interesting link.

This is not surprising at all. There was a vast amount os things of assorted value dumped into German lakes at the end of the war. A large amount of gold and booty to keep the 4th Reich's Spina and Odessa groups going was covertly retreived and funneled into banks.

Hidden gold and jewels have been turned up since 1946 when Baron Helmut von Hummel, aide to Martin Bormann, was found traveling with seven million dollars worth of gold coins in a suitcase. Hell of a retirement plan! Other Nazis have been caught with huge amounts of gold since and ingots have been found in Austria, the Nazi jumping-off point to Switzerland, where they went to Egypt, on to South America and “points beyond,” it is
said. Spinna and Odessa are real enough and aided many after the war.

The Ahnenerbe was a pet SS branch to Himmler. He sent expeditions all over the world from the mid-30s on to seek out tangible items from legends and mythology. And while Hitler was wrapped up in occult stuff he thought the Ahnenerbe and Himmler were a big waste of resources[huh]
