The train reputedly went missing in 1945, at the end ofWorld War II, when the Soviet Red Army was closing in on the forces of Nazi Germany.

As local lore has it, the train left Wroclaw, then part of Germany and known as Breslau, for Walbrzych, but never reached its destination.

Now two people, a German and a Pole, say they have found a 490-foot (150-meter) train they claim contains Nazi treasure that could be worth "well over a million dollars," said Marika Tokarska, an official at the Walbrzych district council.

Through a local law firm, they contacted the Walbrzych district council a week ago with news of their find.

But they won't reveal the train's location without a guarantee that they will be awarded 10% of the value of the treasure, she told CNN.

One of the two has a background in excavation projects and has equipment that can detect objects beneath the surface of the Earth, Tokarska said.
