- abstractbill 18y agoTuring did that, also in WW2, with some silver bars. He never managed to find the exact spot where he had buried them.

- zach 18y agoThat presupposes our knowledge of the course of World War II. It's entirely possible that Arab residents of Palestine buried treasure that their great-grandchildren still cannot dig up. If he had to flee, he presumably could have taken the solution with him without difficulty.
- david927 18y agoA lot of people hid money in WWII and never found it again. It seems simple, but think about it. If you bury it outside, people can see you do it or (since war changes things) it can be hard to find again, even with a map that the average person might have back then. Hiding it in you house was even more dangerous. It seems like a simple problem now, but really, it wasn't.
- wheels 18y ago>(since war changes things) it can be hard to find again Fair point, but not really applicable in Denmark. The Nazi's occupied Denmark more or less without resistance, so they were more subject to ideological hardship than the usual horrors of war.
