The remote and uninhabited Auckland Islands are another rumoured location for a cache of Nazi gold.
The story goes that a German U-Boat visited the islands in 1945 and either dumped its
precious cargo of gold into the sea just off the southern shore or
that the crew of the submarine buried the gold somewhere on the
islands, in some versions the cargo is not gold, but religious
artefacts or even the mortal remains of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun.
Despite an almost total lack of evidence to back up any version of the story, people
continue to search for the treasure.
There are also rumours that the
Spear of Destiny
is buried somewhere on the islands.
Although currently uninhabited, look-outs were
stationed on the islands during world war 2 when the treasure was
supposedly dumped or deposited in the area. As far as I know, none
of the look-outs reported anything to support the various stories
that circulate about the islands. If you have more information
