ESL English Lesson: Nazi gold ghost train possibly found in Poland
D.J. Robinson
Today, let’s talk about Nazi gold. It’s a hot topic to discuss, especially since the alleged discovery in the Polish mountains of a long lost Nazi ghost train. Legend says it is full of gold and other such treasures. If the speculation is correct it would be a truly fascinating discovery. Certainly, it would make a good Indiana Jones style movie, for sure!
Seventy years since the end of the Third Reich two treasure hunters have now reported their discovery. The train is said to be hidden in a longforgotten sealed off tunnel under the mountains near the town of Walbrzych in southwest Poland near the Czech border.
