Treasure Seekers: Brutal Truth

Lake Toplitz is situated in dense mountain forest in the Austrian Alps, with the water containing no oxygen below a depth of 20 meters. The shore served as a Nazi naval testing station from 1943-44, and towards the end of the war they began sinking containers and other items into the lake. A small amount of this was recovered, including millions of dollars worth of fake currency for the allied nations (Operation Bernhard). Many believe that they also sank millions worth of gold, diamonds, art (including Amber Room panels) and plenty more. This speculation is furthered by the fact that a layer of sunken logs was placed within the lake which makes visibility difficult, and it also makes diving near impossible. Some divers have lost their lives trying to uncover the mystery, whilst one diver claims to have seen a sunken aircraft below the layer of logs.
