Where did you first hear this story?
139
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,030
Well, I was working on another book about nazi art theft,
140
00:06:08,030 --> 00:06:09,960
and this guy came up to me, and he said,
141
00:06:09,970 --> 00:06:12,130
"I have this musical sheet,
142
00:06:12,130 --> 00:06:14,840
which is actually a coded document
143
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:19,670
drafted by martin bormann, hitler's personal secretary."
144
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,810
gates: If adolf hitler was the heart of the nazi regime,
145
00:06:22,810 --> 00:06:25,450
then martin bormann might have been its brain.
146
00:06:25,450 --> 00:06:26,880
A loyal servant of the party
147
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,450
since the days before hitler took power,
148
00:06:29,450 --> 00:06:32,850
bormann rose to become the fuhrer's personal secretary.
149
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:35,990
In 1945, with the war almost lost,
150
00:06:35,990 --> 00:06:37,620
bormann was among the inner circle
151
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:40,760
that stood beside hitler in the fuhrerbunker.
152
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,300
On April 29th, 1945,
153
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,770
hitler signed his last will and testament.
154
00:06:45,770 --> 00:06:51,040
Bormann was his witness and executor of his estate.
155
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,340
Now, what's interesting -- that at the end of the war,
156
00:06:53,340 --> 00:06:55,280
when they were about to lose the war,
157
00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:59,910
they had decided that they wanted to continue their ideals
158
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:01,750
in a fourth reich, so to say.
159
00:07:01,750 --> 00:07:03,320
This idea that if the war is lost,
160
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:04,820
if the third reich falls,
161
00:07:04,820 --> 00:07:06,720
they'll reorganize and come back.
162
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,460
Right, and they had this terror cell called werwolfin,
163
00:07:10,460 --> 00:07:11,460
the werewolves.
164
00:07:11,460 --> 00:07:13,030
-The werewolves? -Yeah.
165
00:07:13,030 --> 00:07:15,030
Gates: But even werewolves need money,
166
00:07:15,030 --> 00:07:18,670
so according to the story, bormann had to cover the bill.
167
00:07:18,670 --> 00:07:21,000
To front that terror group, werwolf,
168
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,470
they needed gold and diamonds.
169
00:07:23,470 --> 00:07:28,680
And they had a stash placed somewhere in bavaria.
170
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,910
Now, bormann needed to get a message to the south,
171
00:07:31,910 --> 00:07:34,080
to the leader of the werwolf group there,
172
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,520
so he thought very cleverly,
173
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,150
"I'll have this sheet of music coded
174
00:07:39,150 --> 00:07:42,390
to get to that gold and to those diamonds,"
175
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:44,960
and he sent a clergyman down south
176
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,790
to bring that document to the werwolves.
177
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,760
The nazis would allegedly use clergy
178
00:07:49,770 --> 00:07:52,430
to pass messages through allied territory
179
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:55,900
since they would be less likely to be questioned and searched.
180
00:07:55,900 --> 00:07:57,500
But if the story is true,
181
00:07:57,510 --> 00:07:59,610
the sheet music was never delivered,
182
00:07:59,610 --> 00:08:03,240

All the markings you see here in red, for instance,

In short, he was hitler's personal banker

00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:31,160
Yeah, stick to the wall.
542
00:24:31,170 --> 00:24:32,930
Gates: We edge along the cliff face.
543
00:24:32,930 --> 00:24:34,830
One bad step, and jean christophe
544
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,770
will be a party of one at dinner tonight.
545
00:24:37,770 --> 00:24:38,970
I feel like a mountain goat.
546
00:24:38,970 --> 00:24:40,370
How do you say "mountain goat" in french?
547
00:24:42,180 --> 00:24:44,940
In the states, a shamwow is a miracle product
548
00:24:44,950 --> 00:24:46,580
for cleaning up messes.
549
00:24:46,580 --> 00:24:48,780
It's from the makers of slap chop.
550
00:24:48,780 --> 00:24:51,280
Gates: Finally, a secluded opening appears
551
00:24:51,290 --> 00:24:53,020
in the side of the cliff.
552
00:24:55,590 --> 00:24:57,960
Ah! Does that go back?
553
00:24:58,590 --> 00:25:01,190
Oh, hell yeah, it does! Look at that!
554
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,300
That's a cave!
555
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:16,140
Gates: On the hunt for a cache
556
00:25:16,140 --> 00:25:18,640
of stolen nazi gold and diamonds,
557
00:25:18,650 --> 00:25:21,050
treasure hunter jean christophe boulet and I
558
00:25:21,050 --> 00:25:24,420
are scouring the forests of central germany for a cave
559
00:25:24,420 --> 00:25:27,290
that he thinks might hold the loot.
560
00:25:27,290 --> 00:25:28,890
Does that go back?
561
00:25:29,460 --> 00:25:31,860
Oh, hell yeah, it does. Look at that!
562
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:34,030
That's a cave.
563
00:25:34,030 --> 00:25:36,430
[ laughing ] nice work, man.
564
00:25:36,430 --> 00:25:40,000
Gates: It's remote, difficult to access, and foreboding.
565
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,130
In other words, it's perfect.
566
00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:43,970
After you. Let's see where it goes.
567
00:25:48,310 --> 00:25:49,440
Gates: We enter the cave
568
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,740
and start looking for all that glitters.
569
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:53,750
Oh, wow. This goes way back.
570
00:25:57,450 --> 00:26:00,520
Gates: These limestone chambers extend beneath the hillside
571
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,620
into multiple tunnels.
572
00:26:02,620 --> 00:26:05,320
Gates: This is crazy.
573
00:26:05,330 --> 00:26:07,130
Gates: This cave was once believed to be
574
00:26:07,130 --> 00:26:10,000
the legendary home of the goddess venus.
575
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,630
Jean christophe is hoping that somewhere inside,
576
00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:16,700
the nazis sealed up a vault of gold and diamonds.
577
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:18,300
Before we find anything, though,
578
00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:20,570
the main tunnel comes to a sudden end.
579
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,140
Dead end?
580
00:26:25,650 --> 00:26:27,380
Does it go any further?
581
00:26:32,220 --> 00:26:35,020
It definitely goes back.
582
00:26:35,020 --> 00:26:37,320
We have a snake cam in one of the packs.
583
00:26:37,330 --> 00:26:41,060
Grab that, and we can see what's back here.
584
00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:43,900
Gates: Jean christophe goes down another of the cave's passages
585
00:26:43,900 --> 00:26:47,030
to metal detect while I rig up our snake cam,
586
00:26:47,030 --> 00:26:50,570
a tiny camera attached to a thin, flexible cable.
587
00:26:50,570 --> 00:26:51,970
If there's a chamber here,
588
00:26:51,970 --> 00:26:55,570
this device should be able to see it.
589
00:26:55,580 --> 00:26:59,350
Okay, so we can see there's a really narrow tunnel,
590
00:26:59,350 --> 00:27:04,350
and then there's kind of a right turn here.
591
00:27:04,350 --> 00:27:07,820
Probably nobody has ever seen around this corner.
592
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,360
There's more around the corner. Look at that.
593
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:15,760
The chamber continues a little bit,
594
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,300
and then shortly thereafter...
595
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,570
...End of the line, a true dead end.
596
00:27:23,570 --> 00:27:25,570
All right. Nothing back there,
597
00:27:25,570 --> 00:27:27,440
not even venus, who I was really,
598
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,410
really looking forward to meeting.
599
00:27:30,410 --> 00:27:32,680
I reel in the camera and go to share my find
600
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,450
with jean christophe.
601
00:27:34,450 --> 00:27:36,850
Hey, so good news.
602
00:27:36,850 --> 00:27:39,180
That little tunnel back there does continue.
603
00:27:39,190 --> 00:27:40,690
There's a little more to the chamber,
604
00:27:40,690 --> 00:27:42,220
but a dead end.
605
00:27:42,220 --> 00:27:43,460
And the metal detector?
606
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,400
Where?
607
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,100
On the shelf?
608
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:55,430
Oh, I see what you're talking about.
609
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:56,870
Yes, yes, yes.
610
00:27:56,870 --> 00:27:58,470
Yeah, there's something green up there.
611
00:27:58,470 --> 00:28:00,270
What is that?
612
00:28:02,310 --> 00:28:03,710
Unbelievable.
613
00:28:03,710 --> 00:28:07,250
Look at that.
614
00:28:07,250 --> 00:28:09,150
[ laughs ] what is that?
615
00:28:10,690 --> 00:28:11,920
It's beautiful.
616
00:28:14,460 --> 00:28:18,060
It's really weird because it is not part of the cave.
617
00:28:18,060 --> 00:28:20,330
This is not, like, some mineral growth from in here.
618
00:28:20,330 --> 00:28:23,000
This is something that was placed here.
619
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,130
I don't know.
620
00:28:24,130 --> 00:28:26,100
If these were emeralds or diamonds,
621
00:28:26,100 --> 00:28:27,800
maybe this could be a nazi cache,
622
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,640
but I think this was, like, an offering,
623
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,400
part of the venus-cave story.
624
00:28:31,410 --> 00:28:33,710
This place has been associated with venus for so long.
625
00:28:33,710 --> 00:28:36,840
Maybe someone came and made an offering to venus.
626
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,580
That, or it's from the planet krypton,
627
00:28:39,580 --> 00:28:41,510
and it's the only thing that can kill superman.
628
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,220
[ laughs ]
629
00:28:44,220 --> 00:28:46,350
gates: While it's a thrill to find anything in here,
630
00:28:46,350 --> 00:28:48,450
this isn't what I came for.
631
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:50,020
Let's put this back
632
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:51,860
and let it continue to honor venus,
633
00:28:51,860 --> 00:28:53,160
if that's what it was for.
634
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,330
We just got to hope
635
00:28:54,330 --> 00:28:56,430
that lex luthor doesn't find this thing.
636
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,740
Gates: The world's gone dark by the time we exit the cave.
637
00:29:02,740 --> 00:29:04,170
Jean christophe will be back
638
00:29:04,170 --> 00:29:06,370
to explore this area more thoroughly,
639
00:29:06,370 --> 00:29:10,440
but for me, it's "auf wiedersehen, eisenach,"
640
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,640
and "guten morgen, autobahn."
641
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,590
this is a vintage military mercedes-benz g-wagen
642
00:29:20,590 --> 00:29:24,060
used by the german bundeswehr, or armed forces.
643
00:29:24,060 --> 00:29:26,660
This vehicle is often referred to as "the wolf,"
644
00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:31,900
a nickname shared by none other than adolf hitler himself.
645
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:33,700
The traffic might move fast out here,
646
00:29:33,700 --> 00:29:37,440
but there are still rules.
647
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,270
I've actually deleted all of the german names out of this phone
648
00:29:40,270 --> 00:29:43,110
because by law, it needs to be "hans-free."
649
00:29:44,750 --> 00:29:46,550
I mean, that's a terrible joke.
650
00:29:46,550 --> 00:29:48,150
Hello.
651
00:29:49,980 --> 00:29:52,250
I set my cruise control at ludicrous speed
652
00:29:52,250 --> 00:29:55,650
for the 300-mile trip to continue my investigation
653
00:29:55,660 --> 00:29:57,920
in the town of mittenwald, germany.
654
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,600
Mittenwald, you'll recall, was a location
655
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,570
to which bormann's music sheet allegedly refers,
656
00:30:06,570 --> 00:30:08,800
where matthias strokes the strings.
657
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,540
That's because this was the hometown
658
00:30:10,540 --> 00:30:13,510
of a renowned violin maker, matthias klotz,
659
00:30:13,510 --> 00:30:18,380
and some believe the sheet music is supposed to lead right here.
660
00:30:18,380 --> 00:30:25,080
♪
661
00:30:25,090 --> 00:30:27,590
I drive outside of town to a secluded cabin
662
00:30:27,590 --> 00:30:30,220
in the alpine woods.
663
00:30:30,220 --> 00:30:31,660
This is cozy.
664
00:30:31,660 --> 00:30:33,360
I'm here to meet a pair of researchers
665
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,900
who have spent years looking for bormann's missing millions,
666
00:30:36,900 --> 00:30:39,600
jurgen proske and sebastian eberle.
667
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,270
Come on in. Look at this place.
668
00:30:42,270 --> 00:30:43,540
You found all this?
669
00:30:43,540 --> 00:30:45,470
Yes, we found all these relics here in the area.
670
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:47,210
That's incredible.
671
00:30:49,740 --> 00:30:52,780
Gates: The table is covered with dozens of wartime artifacts
672
00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:55,980
that the pair has recovered in the nearby woods --
673
00:30:55,980 --> 00:31:01,120
byproducts of their years trying to crack bormann's code.
674
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,020
The one thing I really recognize on this table,
675
00:31:03,020 --> 00:31:04,290
of course, is this. Yeah.
676
00:31:04,290 --> 00:31:07,260
So this is another copy of the "March impromptu,"
677
00:31:07,260 --> 00:31:08,590
of the famous music.
678
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,530
So I take it that you believe that this area, mittenwald,
679
00:31:12,530 --> 00:31:15,170
really is where this treasure is buried.
680
00:31:15,170 --> 00:31:18,100
Let me explain.
681
00:31:18,110 --> 00:31:20,640
Gates: Using the same six lines from the score,
682
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,440
jurgen has reached a totally different interpretation
683
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,510
of the clues as jean christophe.
684
00:31:25,510 --> 00:31:27,810
Though they agree on mittenwald being the answer
685
00:31:27,820 --> 00:31:30,680
to "where matthias strokes the strings,"
686
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,120
jurgen believes the edelweiss refers to nearby army barracks
687
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,060
that use the flower as its emblem.
688
00:31:37,060 --> 00:31:40,060
The clues about "predigtstuhl," "kreuz," and "kranz"
689
00:31:40,060 --> 00:31:42,090
he claims refers to three mountains
690
00:31:42,100 --> 00:31:44,130
that surround this town.
691
00:31:44,130 --> 00:31:46,670
How convinced are you that the treasure is around here?
692
00:31:46,670 --> 00:31:48,670
100%. Absolutely.
693
00:31:48,670 --> 00:31:52,940
Because all the clues point to here and nowhere else.
694
00:31:52,940 --> 00:31:56,510
And if you connect them, it's a interesting symbol.
695
00:31:56,510 --> 00:31:59,140
Gates: Plotting the site on a map forms a symbol that,
696
00:31:59,150 --> 00:32:01,310
while unrecognizable to me,
697
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,780
is instantly recognizable to them.
698
00:32:03,780 --> 00:32:05,050
Okay, so if you connect them, you get...
699
00:32:05,050 --> 00:32:06,290
You know this symbol?
700
00:32:06,290 --> 00:32:07,720
I do not know this symbol.
701
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:11,020
That's the signature of hitler.
702
00:32:11,030 --> 00:32:12,220
This is the signature of hitler?
703
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:14,990
This is the signature of hitler.
704
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,060
Gates: The resemblance is uncanny.
705
00:32:17,060 --> 00:32:19,460
By connecting the sites, the resulting pattern looks
706
00:32:19,470 --> 00:32:22,400
almost exactly like adolf hitler's signature
707
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,670
from the end of April in 1945,
708
00:32:26,670 --> 00:32:29,740
exactly when the gold was reportedly hidden.
709
00:32:29,740 --> 00:32:32,580
This is the signature of the owner of the treasure,
710
00:32:32,580 --> 00:32:34,480
and this is hitler.
711
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,480
It's like something out of a movie.
712
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:37,550
Of course.
713
00:32:37,550 --> 00:32:39,690
It's so crazy, it almost has to be true.
714
00:32:39,690 --> 00:32:40,950
Yeah.
715
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,320
Gates: But when with all that,
716
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,720
jurgen and sebastian still couldn't be certain
717
00:32:44,730 --> 00:32:46,630
they were looking in the right place
718
00:32:46,630 --> 00:32:49,390
until they found one more artifact.
719
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,500

krampus is here to scare the naughty ones.
1079
00:46:55,510 --> 00:46:57,940
Naughty and nice, though, are subjective.
1080
00:46:57,940 --> 00:47:00,780
Somebody help me! Aaaah!
1081
00:47:00,780 --> 00:47:04,280
Gates: Now, who's to say krampus doesn't sometimes make mistakes?
1082
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,190
This is not okay. Aaaaah!
1083
00:47:15,230 --> 00:47:16,490
Welcome back. I'm josh gates.
1084
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:18,330
And before we get back to the nazi treasure hunt,
1085
00:47:18,330 --> 00:47:21,170
I have got a very special treat -- ramy romany.
1086
00:47:21,170 --> 00:47:24,070
He is an egyptian egyptologist, a mummy expert,
1087
00:47:24,070 --> 00:47:26,570
and he's also the host of "mummies unwrapped,"
1088
00:47:26,570 --> 00:47:28,040
discovery's newest series,
1089
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,910
premiering right after this episode
1090
00:47:29,910 --> 00:47:31,640
of "expedition unknown."
1091
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,740
he's also a great old friend. How you doing, man?
1092
00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:35,110
Josh. Great to see you.
1093
00:47:35,110 --> 00:47:37,250
Thank you so much. Still looking adventurous.
1094
00:47:37,250 --> 00:47:39,320
Still one too many buttons undone on the shirt for taste.
1095
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,020
It's my thing. I know it is.
1096
00:47:41,020 --> 00:47:43,590
I can't pull it off. -One day, one day, you'll have enough chest hair.
1097
00:47:43,590 --> 00:47:44,990
No, it's so pasty under here.
1098
00:47:44,990 --> 00:47:46,290
Nobody wants to see that.
1099
00:47:46,290 --> 00:47:47,930
So, tell me about the series.
1100
00:47:47,930 --> 00:47:49,790
"mummies unwrapped" is a great show.
1101
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:51,930
We are going around the world
1102
00:47:51,930 --> 00:47:54,270
trying to solve ancient mummy mysteries
1103
00:47:54,270 --> 00:47:56,430
using modern cutting-edge technology.
1104
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,070
We are headed to mexico.
1105
00:47:58,070 --> 00:47:59,300
We're going to egypt.
1106
00:47:59,310 --> 00:48:01,510
We're going to peru, argentina,
1107
00:48:01,510 --> 00:48:02,740
denmark.
1108
00:48:02,740 --> 00:48:06,080
We're even going to oklahoma and...Massachusetts.
1109
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:07,350
My home state! Yes!
1110
00:48:07,350 --> 00:48:08,780
You're telling me there are mummies in massachusetts?
1111
00:48:08,780 --> 00:48:10,250
There are mummies in massachusetts,
1112
00:48:10,250 --> 00:48:12,220
and there are mummies everywhere around the world.
1113
00:48:12,220 --> 00:48:14,320
You heard it here first -- mummies in massachusetts.
1114
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,650
Be sure to catch the series premiere of "mummies unwrapped"
1115
00:48:16,660 --> 00:48:20,120
coming up immediately after this episode of "expedition unknown,"
1116
00:48:20,130 --> 00:48:22,060
only on discovery.
1117
00:48:22,060 --> 00:48:25,560
♪
1118
00:48:25,570 --> 00:48:28,170
gates: In the alpine forest near mittenwald, germany,
1119
00:48:28,170 --> 00:48:31,000
searching for gold and diamonds hidden by the nazis
1120
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:33,670
in the closing days of world war ii,
1121
00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:36,810
treasure hunters jurgen proske and sebastian eberle
1122
00:48:36,810 --> 00:48:39,610
have turned up historic wehrmacht ammunition
1123
00:48:39,610 --> 00:48:41,780
along with a leather ammo bag
1124
00:48:41,780 --> 00:48:43,480
and now what might be proof
1125
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,520
that the army was active in this area.
1126
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,350
Eberle: It's a part of the gas mask.
1127
00:48:48,350 --> 00:48:49,790
Oh, my god!
1128
00:48:49,790 --> 00:48:53,390
Get out of here! Are you kidding me?!
1129
00:48:53,390 --> 00:48:55,790
[ laughs ] look at it.
1130
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,730
Wow. This is absolutely incredible.
1131
00:49:01,170 --> 00:49:03,100
I have to say, just holding this
1132
00:49:03,100 --> 00:49:06,540
is emotionally kind of disturbing,
1133
00:49:06,540 --> 00:49:08,970
but it's also historic. Yeah.
1134
00:49:08,980 --> 00:49:12,410
I mean, this is part of the story of a soldier...
1135
00:49:12,410 --> 00:49:13,410
-Yeah. -Of course, yeah.
1136
00:49:13,410 --> 00:49:14,980
...Of a nazi, of the war itself.
1137
00:49:14,980 --> 00:49:18,280
I mean, this is a lost piece of history.
1138
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:19,950
Gates: The gas mask and the other finds
1139
00:49:19,950 --> 00:49:22,890
are a sobering reminder of the devastating war
1140
00:49:22,890 --> 00:49:25,890
that germany perpetrated over 80 years ago
1141
00:49:25,890 --> 00:49:29,430
only to be defeated on this, their home soil.
1142
00:49:29,430 --> 00:49:32,160
Then, as if to make the connection ironclad,
1143
00:49:32,170 --> 00:49:34,800
we make another incredible find.
1144
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:36,070
-Look at this. -Is it a gun?
1145
00:49:36,070 --> 00:49:38,600
-That is a gun. -Oh, my god!
1146
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,710
-Oh, my god. -Holy [bleep].
1147
00:49:40,710 --> 00:49:42,140
Look at that. It's a rifle.
1148
00:49:42,140 --> 00:49:43,710
-Yeah, it's a rifle. -Yeah, it's a rifle.
1149
00:49:43,710 --> 00:49:46,510
But it's a machine gun. It's a small one.
1150
00:49:46,510 --> 00:49:48,610
You can see. Oh, my god!
1151
00:49:48,610 --> 00:49:50,650
That sets... It's history.
1152
00:49:50,650 --> 00:49:52,320
-It's history. -Yeah, it's history.
1153
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,590
-Look at that. -Josh, look.
1154
00:49:54,590 --> 00:49:57,050
Here, the gun has two triggers.
1155
00:49:57,060 --> 00:49:59,490
Yeah, the dual triggers. Look at that.
1156
00:49:59,490 --> 00:50:01,260
What gun has two triggers?
1157
00:50:01,260 --> 00:50:05,300
For a single shot and full automatic.
1158
00:50:05,300 --> 00:50:06,900
Are you kidding me with this?
1159
00:50:06,900 --> 00:50:08,600
This is unbelievable.
1160
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:10,500
[ laughing ] what?
1161
00:50:10,500 --> 00:50:11,400
Look at that.
1162
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,470
That's really, really...
1163
00:50:13,470 --> 00:50:14,470
Really...
1164
00:50:14,470 --> 00:50:17,480
Now there was wehrmacht in here.
1165
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:18,540
There was german army here.
1166
00:50:18,540 --> 00:50:20,540
There was german army in here.
1167
00:50:20,550 --> 00:50:22,510
Gates: The weapon is likely an italian-made
1168
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,180
beretta submachine gun
1169
00:50:24,180 --> 00:50:27,080
frequently used by the german armed forces.
1170
00:50:27,090 --> 00:50:30,620
The gun was capable of firing 600 rounds per minute
1171
00:50:30,620 --> 00:50:33,460
and had a range of over 200 yards.
1172
00:50:33,460 --> 00:50:36,590
It is every bit a weapon of war.
1173
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,200
I think it's a german soldier because the german used also
1174
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,400
during the end of the war the weapons from the italians...
1175
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,940
-Sure. -...From the russians.
1176
00:50:44,940 --> 00:50:48,810
They hadn't have any more for themselves.
1177
00:50:48,810 --> 00:50:50,940
Gates: The beretta was actually the weapon of choice
1178
00:50:50,940 --> 00:50:53,840
for many german troops, including the ss.
1179
00:50:53,850 --> 00:50:55,950
They weren't always easy to come by.
1180
00:50:55,950 --> 00:50:58,420
It's hard to imagine a solider burying one
1181
00:50:58,420 --> 00:51:00,990
except under desperate circumstances.
1182
00:51:00,990 --> 00:51:04,120
The gun would seem to complete our rather macabre set,
1183
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,190
but there's still more to be uncovered.
1184
00:51:06,190 --> 00:51:07,090
The magazine.
1185
00:51:07,090 --> 00:51:09,830
That is the magazine.
1186
00:51:09,830 --> 00:51:13,600
Gates: Jurgen's theory that the german army was here
1187
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,900
seems confirmed.
1188
00:51:16,900 --> 00:51:20,300
I'm literally, for, you know, like,
1189
00:51:20,310 --> 00:51:23,040
fourth time in my life maybe, speechless.
1190
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:25,080
I don't know what to say.
1191
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,380
It's really, really extraordinary.
1192
00:51:29,380 --> 00:51:32,950
It's an incredible and terrifying and important thing.
1193
00:51:32,950 --> 00:51:34,920
-Yeah. -It's all those things.
1194
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,720
It's amazing.
1195
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:40,620
Gates: Jurgen and sebastian will probably spend every weekend
1196
00:51:40,630 --> 00:51:42,530
for the rest of their lives in these woods
1197
00:51:42,530 --> 00:51:44,730
until the loot is found.
1198
00:51:47,470 --> 00:51:50,730
As for me...
1199
00:51:50,740 --> 00:51:53,900
I leave mittenwald both shaken and stirred.
1200
00:51:53,910 --> 00:51:56,840
It may be exciting to look for buried riches,
1201
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,210
but hovering over each step of my journey --
1202
00:52:00,210 --> 00:52:03,880
the darkness of the third reich that cannot be dispelled.
1203
00:52:06,350 --> 00:52:08,450
So are the symbols on this music sheet
1204
00:52:08,450 --> 00:52:10,350
bormann's secret code,
1205
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:14,530
or merely an elaborate conspiracy theory?
1206
00:52:14,530 --> 00:52:16,490
I've gone exploring in the remote corners
1207
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:20,260
of germany's caves and forests in search of the answer
1208
00:52:20,270 --> 00:52:21,870
and found not gold
1209
00:52:21,870 --> 00:52:24,240
but the scars of a past more recent
1210
00:52:24,240 --> 00:52:26,500
than we may be comfortable considering.
1211
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:31,140
One thing is indisputable.
1212
00:52:31,140 --> 00:52:33,580
Even if bormann's loot is never found,
1213
00:52:33,580 --> 00:52:35,580
there are billions in nazi plunder
1214
00:52:35,580 --> 00:52:37,450
that remain unaccounted for,
1215
00:52:37,450 --> 00:52:40,750
the property of their victims still unrecovered,
1216
00:52:40,750 --> 00:52:45,020
reparations still unmade.
1217
00:52:45,020 --> 00:52:49,490
Though this expedition may be over,
1218
00:52:49,500 --> 00:52:52,160
the mission goes on.
