Mystery- The Haunted Town Of St. Nazianz, WI St. Nazians was founded by a priest who wholeheartedly believed to helped cursed the town. Over the years, the town has been hit with natural disasters and unexplained phenomena. Father Ambrose Oschwald was fled to Wisconsin in 1854 from religious persecution. The Roman Catholic Church had suspended him from his duties due to “mystical, prophetic, and heretical works.” Already, the scary history of the town is starting to make sense!

How The US Stumbled Onto a Nazi Treasure Worth $16 Billion



OnApril 12th, 1945, General George Patton escorted General Omar Bradley and Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower to a nondescript mineshaft in Merkers, Germany. The trio, three of the most powerful men in the world at the time, crammed themselves into a rickety elevator and descended over 1,000 feet into the Earth. At the bottom, a group of military police gawked as the generals strode by into the mine complex. Kaiseroda Mine was a potassium mine that had largely been depleted, leaving numerous tunnels and carved out caverns. It was one of many such mines that dotted the industrial heartland of Germany. But this particular mine was different.

Intelligence officers from Patton’s Third Army had stumbled onto the mine after interviewing a number of people from the local area. There were rumors that the mine had been used to store troves of Nazi gold. Such rumors were rife in Europe at the time, and many were skeptical. After a thorough investigation, the mine was found to be stuffed with treasure. Patton was shown the mine, and upon seeing the treasure, Patton immediately summoned Eisenhower.

What they saw in the Kaiseroda Mine was mind-boggling.

The Treasure

According to historian and writer Rick Atkinson, the Kaiseroda Mine was filled with a vast treasure that made up the bulk of the Nazis’ remaining wealth. The treasure was worth over $600 million in 1945 which equates to over $16 billion at current gold prices. Most of the gold was stored in a single room that measured 150 feet by 75 feet.

The room, dubbed Room Number 8, contained the following.

8,307 gold bars


55 crates of gold bullion


3,682 stacks of German bills


80 stacks of foreign currency


3,326 bags of gold coins


8 bags filled with gold rings


A stack of platinum bars


The officers in the mine estimated that the entire treasure equated to 250 tons of gold, which adds up to $16 billion in 2024.
