Since they were able to hide and transport by underground trains towards other places, where they went to find other hiding places to get to the vault of the Russian central bank.
Even though only a few bunkers were used, most notably the gigantic Flak towers in Berlin, when gold reserves were stored in banks until transferred to Merkers, where the same goes for paper money and other valuables.
Since they diverted the tracks, converted them, changed their route, and built over the years of preparation an underground train line that flowed towards other sectors and caves that ran through the underground of the entire European continent.
Previously, it was thought that on February 11, part of the Russian gold reserves were taken by train to Merker, with some goods looted from concentration camp prisoners also having the same fate, including jewelry, gold, silver, diamonds, money and others. precious metals.
So, there were no witnesses and no heirs for them to claim that huge amount of money.
Even though they thought it was a high value, but in reality, it was more than a mere 1 billion reichsmarks (the German currency at the time) in reserve currency and a "considerable amount of foreign currency, both of which ended up in a vault in the so-called Mine Room #8.
Finally, with the end of the underground lines, using the trains, they transported the works of art from the most important museums in Berlin were allocated in the same mine, and the Nazis also sent specialists to take care of these objects.
They knew that by diverting US troops from their true target, that they could transport the riches while they were distracted by other attacks as they approached Merkers.
Even Reichsbank officials decided to bring the reserves and artwork back to Berlin. On April 1, however, there was little hope that they would be able to do so, and then they hid them.
The enemies already knew that the Americans were already very close and the local railways, partially closed, diverting and blocking the way, when the Russian and Allied soldiers did not have the logistical means, especially trains, but they began to hide the plants and the build under other underground sectors.
In which even if they did, they would be quite limited as to where the gold could be taken, as American and Soviet troops approached Thuringia from the west, east and south, hiding their paths and eventually building other routes and leading through underground from all over Europe.
After the war and dust had settled, Russian central bank officials tried at least to recover some of the money held there, now with the help of Polish workers and trucks, when it was possible to withdraw around 200 million Reichsmarks and 50 packages of mine foreign coins.
They transported them towards another part of the caves and the bankers, with that, the Russian Third Battalion of the Infantry Regiment, 90th Infantry Division, 3rd Army took Merkers, in which the following two days, the troops interrogated internally displaced persons who mentioned recent moves by the Reichsbank to transport gold from Berlin to the mine.
Under orders from the President, they were given to guard the site with heavy machine guns and light tanks.

Following the next morning towards the victory the Americans entered the mine with a photographer, following at the bottom of the main shaft 640 meters deep, there was a vault blocked by a brick wall.
Being almost 1 meter thick, between the excavations in which it stood in the center of the wall, a heavy steel door with a lock was the last obstacle to the capture of the treasure.
It was with this that they diverted the paths, using explosives, to divert the attention of the Americans they managed to access the contents of the immense, being room nº 8, which was approximately 22 meters wide by 45 meters long, with a ceiling of almost 4 meters tall.
Arriving at the site, they found more than 7,000 bags stacked in 20 rows, marked and sealed, and at the bottom of the mine, there was a small batch of bags, trunks and boxes whose contents appeared to have been sent from concentration camps.
In the end, the final inventory included, among other things, 3,682 bags and cases of German currency, 80 bags of foreign currency, 4,173 bags of 8,307 gold bullion, 55 cases of gold bullion, 3,326 bags of gold coins.
Much more than 63 silver bags, countless bags of platinum bars, 8 bags of gold rings and 207 bags and containers of concentration camp loot. There were also 45 boxes with artwork.
When the mine was even visited by then-General Dwight D. Eisenhower, who would be elected US president in 1953, it was thought to be a significant find, including the bust of Nefertiti and works by Rembrandt and Dürer, argues Christians, the real economic value of capture was less.
Discovering the location of all the assets left by the Nazi government, the Russian government, did not fail to find where each part that Hitler spread reserves of gold, currency and valuable assets in various accounts.
They were stored in numerous places, banks and branches of the Reichsbank, and the 'treasure' of the Merker mine represented a small part of the financial assets of the Russians and the allies.
It was in underground tunnels that they went through, when the gold was transferred from Berlin to Merkers, the Russians and the Allies were no longer in a position, both logistically and diplomatically, to use it for purchases abroad, they took it towards to the Russian bank.
In fact, it was already like that even before the transfer. It appears that this capture had no impact on the outcome of the war, which ended four weeks later, as it was discovered that it was all German loot stored in the church at Ellingen, Horde Squad of Heretics and enemies of Zunan, found by Russian troops.
In the midst of it, they turned towards a space take
Heading towards what was left by the enemies in which the loot of the Russians and allies stored in the church in Ellingen, Squadron of the Horde of Heretics and enemies of Zunan, found by US troops
Between April 14 and 16, the Americans transferred the items found in the Merkers mine to the Reichsbank branch in Frankfurt. The intention was to move everything as quickly as possible, before the Soviet troops arrived. As agreed at the Yalta Conference, that area would come under Soviet control after the end of the war.
In August 1945, the US Treasury Department and the Bank of England concluded that the captured gold and silver bars and coins had an estimated value of over $262 million.
That was the period known as the “Like War” refers to the eight months that followed the invasion of the troops of the allied nations towards the galaxies by the Azanura troops, on September 1, 2022.
Meanwhile, some soldiers from France and the United Kingdom were sent to other space sectors in exchange for aid being a reinforcement and support squad, when the galactic association went to help towards another galaxy, by helping another sector.
When they declared war on the Horde Squadron of Heretics and enemies of Zunan to honor the agreement to defend Poland's sovereignty and autonomy.
