WARSAW, Poland — Explorers’ great hopes for finding a legendary Nazi “gold train” in Poland appeared dashed Wednesday when, after digging extensively, they admitted they have found “no train, no tunnel” at the site. Richter and Koper said last year that their own tests using earth-penetrating radar confirmed a train was at the site. RelatedSaying “hope dies last,” Gaik said a smaller-scale search using probes will resume at a nearby site in September. The dig confirmed findings by experts from a university in Krakow last year who used magnetic equipment but found no trace of train or tunnel, Gaik said. The area belonged to Germany at the time, but has been part of Poland since the borders were moved in the postwar settlement.
