A piece of music, the March Impromptu, is said to hold the key to the fabled 'Nazi treasure". The treasure is supposed to include gemstones, diamonds, gold bullion and other like items; a secret cache that was supposed to fund heinous acts and world domination.
A filmmaker now says he has cracked the code contained in the music sheet.
Martin Bormann, Hitler's private secretary is believed to be the one who was administering the treasure, whose proceeds were slated to fund operation "werewolf", a set of plans that included commandos to infiltrate and destroy enemy lines.
The map to the treasure had a code that was embedded in the music sheet, according to lore. The musical notes, figures and lyrics all give clues to the whereabouts of the treasure.
The filmmaker, Leon Giesen, has taken up the task to decode the music sheet, and says that he might have found the 'key' to the mystery.
As arcane as it may sound, the documentarian thinks that the key lies in the letter 'M' between the two pentagrams, which should point to the German town of Mittenwald, where a famed violin maker, Matthias Klotz, plied his artisanship in the 17th century.
The search for clues was by no means easy. Historical papers, maps and research materials were evaluated by Giesen. He ultimately concluded that the clues led him to the train tracks in the town of MIttenwald, a Nazi stronghold during WWII.
And there, on the grounds of what once were the Nazi barracks, ultrasound waves detected a strange anomaly which gave Giesen hope that he has found the fabled loot.
A full excavation will have to wait though. Giesen has to raise enough money to do so. His hopes are that the German government will pitch in and enable him to finalize his discovery.
The anomaly seems to point to large boxes, set deep underground below where the barracks stood. One of the problems that Giesen must solve is to find out whether any booby traps were set to stop potential looters at the time of the Nazi defeat.
The town where Giesen wants to make his mark, to tell a good story as he contends and not to get rich, is very close to the Austrian border. The place has been scoured for decades by treasure hunters, who believe that the Nazis hid treasure there someplace as they retreated, since Austria was at the time a very pro-Nazi country.
