Is There Sunken Nazi Treasure At The Bottom Of Lake Toplitz?

High up in the Austrian Alps lies a mysterious lake that has obsessed treasure hunters for decades: Lake Toplitz. Legend has it that a massive collection of secret Third Reich documents and boxes filled with gold were sunk into the cold depths of Toplitz just before the end of WWII. Some of Adolf Hitler’s most senior followers including SS officer Ernst Kaltenbrunner and “war hero” Otto Skorzeny were implicated. The area surrounding Toplitz was known as the ‘Alpine Fortress’ or ‘Alpenfestung’.
