During World War II Poland and other parts of Central Europe were damaged, and many museums and precious collections were destroyed. Now, explorers are trying to find the places where gold, pieces of art, small planes, military cars, guns, and other artifacts were hidden in 1945. Apart from millions of murdered people, thousands of looted places, and hundreds of ruined cities, World War II also brought a number of stories about hidden treasures. Although most of them are untrue, there are several tales which are real. Legends about hidden treasures, paintings, gold, and military goods transformed many people into treasure hunters. Nowadays, in Poland there are possible archaeological sites that are damaged by amateur treasure hunters who commit illegal excavations
