The Nazi already sent gold to South America six submarines docked in Brazil and Argentina each carrying 20 tonnes of gold . A large loot from the concentration camps totalled 104 tonnes also went missing. Towards the end of 1945 and after 600 tonnes of gold was used to prop up South American economy and in return 900 tonnes of gold returns to Germany in 1965 for the reconstruction of Germany. It's a true story.
Your exactly right I researched this also..I mean Germany as of 2024 is tge 3rd biggest economy in the wirld..all that money went right back into Germany..for the 4th reich
@BI-11y_TheStormTrooper The Americans invested in South America using stolen gold also Switzerland was involved. There's a dozen countries who had their gold taken by the Nazis and sent to Switzerland so quite a bit of loot gold bars do not disappear just be refined into new bars with different seals .
Not the chunks of rubber..The gold would have been in the hold of the ship or sub.The rubber is just part of shipment from rubber plantations..It was packaged/processed into sheets for transport..The rubber could have been from allied shipment as well as Nazi but is used as an indicator that a shipment from Brazil,Argentina was sunk
In 2000, I found a gold wedding band buried in my backyard, I was digging up the soil to create a garden and it was down in the soil by about 14 inches. I sold it at a gold exchange store. Then in 2003, I found a soggy gross wallet, buried under old, wet rotting leaves, near my garage off our public alley. I had to let it dry for a day two, in the sun. Once it was dry I was able to peel away the layers, that were stuck together. There was no ID or credit cards,....no name on anything. Right before I was about to throw it away, I noticed a tiny, hidden flap, inside one of the sleeves were one would place a house key or a coin,....I pulled out a folded piece of paper the size of a postage stamp. There was a hand written poem on the paper, and a folded up, two dollar bill ($2.00). For the win!
I was in the military and stationed in Germany for 6 years. I had to live in the barracks and during the winter it snowed pretty regularly leaving very thick snow banks to either side of the cement courtyard in front of the main door to our building. Many, many guys would get drunk and call for cabs on that cement pad, little did they notice, they would drop change and euro bills into the snow and due to drunkenness, not notice they dropped it. It was my job once a week to salt the ice and snow to clean the walk way and cement pad, and if I was lucky enough to do so on Saturday morning, I would usually find anywhere from 30 to 50 euros buried in the snow, much like your 2 dollar bill in the leaves. I found quite a bit of cash during my time there. It's the small treasures in life!!!
@@ericthiel4053 I live in a college town, have been here for more than 30 years, I live in the area where the students rent. There is a busy street a block away lined with bars, and the kids often park on my street. They regularly drop coins and bills, as they stumble back to their cars . When times were better,. in the 1980s to the early 2000's.,...money dropped, wasn't worth looking for. So every Sunday, I'd go out, mostly looking to pick up the trash they left behind. Clean up the front of my yard, at the side walk and curb. I almost could depend on finding some paper money, and (US) quarters.
I'm guessing that the gold wedding band you discovered got in that back yard when a wife grew so angry with her husband because he said he didn't like the dinner she just cooked for him that she ripped it right off her finger and threw it from their back door right into the back yard where it landed in the grass and soon buried itself... waiting for the day you came along.
@@BeeFunKnee Or she was digging in the garden to plant petunias under the watchful gaze of her faithful dog, Ralph, who found where she had dropped it and buried it.

In 1992 I was in high school and my friends and I were shark fishing on West Beach. I accidentally locked my keys in the truck. This was pre cell phone so we had to walk down the beach to a store on the road to use a pay phone. On the walk down the beach we found three bales of weed of about 10 pounds each. We tossed them in the dunes and came back for them the next weekend. They were gone. Someone else found them I guess. LOL Bummer.
Yes because it’s a historical artifact from WW2. Multiple stories since 2020 have appeared on Brazilian news and Florida news and further south on other Texas cities news sites. We cut this bundle in half, it most likely weighed at a minimum of 300 pounds. It’s a crazy off find/story but in person it’s pretty fascinating.
We who hunt Galveston with metal detectors find all kinds of stuff lost by the public! Gold being very heavy most likely would not float! Happy hunting! 🌴
He actually found 2 pounds of gold in it. He didn't say a word because he knows the city would of confiscated it, or the IRS would have taken half of it.
The rubber blocks likely came of a Japanese submarine (I believe I 52), which was sunk in the South Atlantic Ocean in late 1944, after transferring cargo onboard from Nazi Germany. One of the cargo items was bulk blocks of rubber, just like this.
We have bales of rubber like this, that wash up on the beaches of Matagorda and Calhoun county on the Texas gulf coast. They come from the SS Oaxaca, a Mexican freighter that was torpedoed by the German submarine U-171 in July 1942. The wreckage lies 11 miles off Port O'Conner, Texas in about 65 feet of water. Ironically the ship originally started as a German freighter that was seized by Mexico in 1941.
@@KR72534 I think the same. Although it could have come from one of the several German submarines that were sunk in the along the Texas coast. These subs would put into port in South America to refuel and resupply, as well as taking on cargo to take back to Germany. They couldn't carry much cargo, but every little bit helped.
Washes up here where I live quite often. A British cargo ship full of rubber bails from Sri Lanka was sunk off Cape St Francis by a German uboat in 1943
It’s a matter of buoyancy and density, the amount of gold that could actually be hidden in a rubber bale like that, simply isn’t enough to increase the density of the package enough that it’s buoyancy goes down causing it to sink. Think about it, the rubber already floats, and if the gold was being smuggled in rubber, the rubber would still float since it would still be more rubber than gold. I would suppose that it took until the hull of the ship rusted enough for a hole appeared large enough for the rubber bales to pop out. And it’s also possible that these weren’t even from a Nazi ship but a Japanese ship that was sunk nearby the Nazi one, which would mean no gold.
Yes rubber was an extremely scarce and very vital commodity during that time. This loot which is estimated in thousands of tons was taken from Brazil during early 1944 when our military took out the German ship cutting off supplies to further Hitlers war efforts.
if you find a hint about a real treasure the first thing you do is keep it to yourself, otherwise your going to have 100s of people looking around for it too.
Multiple world armies needed rubber for tons of military equipment and boots and rafts and other various supplies. Japan, England, America and many others, it’s truly fascinating when you start researching the war efforts during that time period. The rubber is incredible in its current form and is extremely pliable and way more durable than todays stuff.
@@SLP-SandAngel You're right, just last week, on an antique car I own, the original tires finally dry rotted to the point of not holding air any longer..the old mechanic at the shop said "Those tires are from back when they made them out of real rubber".
I found 57 silver dollars , 2 golden eagles and 3 silver eagles while my young kids were dragging garbage bags to the street . Rental moved out and told me to keep the deposit . Never got to cash it in , my daughter bought a cell phone with the face value at 14 years old .
Because it’s historical artifact from WW2. Odd I know and understand but it’s actually to see and touch in person knowing the back story of its significance to the war efforts during 1941-1945.
During the War, rubber was one of the most rationed things, you couldn't even purchase a new set of tires, you'd get retreads put on your existing tires, when you absolutely had to. They also had Rationing Stamps for Rubber back then.
How is this going to wash on shore after decades 3 miles down. Dude what hidden message are y’all trying to send to people because this story doesn’t make sense. How about y’all talk about all these kids being smuggled around here.
I find rubber from old tire treads laying on the road sides now and then. Never thought to gather them up and take them apart to look for hidden treasures. I suppose there could be a Nazi one or two in the bunch. Maybe I can make shoes out them. I doubt anyone's ever thought of that before . . . . .
So I watched this video for nothing, just like The Curse of Oak Island....and the clump of rubber was not found anywhere near Florida, or Galveston TX, but on an island shore off the coast of Texas near the Mexico border....
Looks more like a bail of Henry Fords rubber from his jungle rubber plantation south of our boarder. Of course there were other rubber (latex) plantations over the last couple centuries!

That math ain't mathing . 20x6 = 120 tons + 104 tons = 224 tons where did the other 600 tons and 900 tons come from???

Depends how much gold is inside since rubber is buoyant.
When you adjust for inflation, that bundle is worth $2.93 now days.
