THE FABULOUS TREASURE OF ROMMEL THERE WAS Immersed BONIFACIO IN 1943?The "Wells Saint Barth?lemy Bonifacio was talked about in the years 1950-60 about the famous" Marshal Rommel's Treasure ", the" Desert Fox ".
Much has been said, much has been writing on this case. There were even hundreds of reconnaissance dives, but nothing was found.
There are several theories when the location of a possible treasure. The one of them assumes that the freight is under water, near the eastern coast Corsican
A diver who served as an SS during WWII, known under the pseudonym Peter Fleig, said they had orders to help a group of four officers to hide six boxes of ammunition in an underwater cave somewhere along the coast Eastern Corsica.
Gold Rommel is it somewhere in a cave diving in Corsica?
Since 1944, the research, and much energy and money has been spent to find the legendary treasure, to which a multitude of research expeditions were mounted, often by the most famous treasure hunters. Marshal Rommel, the legendary "Desert Fox" did he really built up such a baboon? Crates of gold and jewels they have been immersed in Corsica?
"It's good to Bonifacio ..."In an article dated September 4, 1952, written in Sidi-Bel-Abbes, Jacques Alain correspondent claimed to have met a man "who was seen carrying the fabulous treasure of Rommel and that the treasure" had been dropped off Bonifacio. This man was a former sergeant Himpe Walter, who has been unable to specify exactly where the precious boxes were disposed of. Himpe Walter, age 35 in 1952, was engaged in the Foreign Legion since 1948.
According to him it is that Bonifacio cases have been disposed of and not to Bastia on the east coast, which would be in fact a "diversionary tactic" boxes dumped in the north of Corsica were filled only with stones and sand!
For four years, the research was undertaken by the Navy and by dozens of individuals near the mouth of the Golo and around Cape Corsica.
But what was then the real significance of this booty? Some have estimated at 15 billion euros, probably with exaggeration. Saying he was "very important".
Towards the end of February 1943 that Walter Himpe entraining in Bizerte aboard a destroyer-cons, with Colonel Friedrich Barz which belonged to the staff of Rommel.
"Metal boxes resembling coffins"Six metal boxes resembling coffins but larger in size, were hoisted on deck. A few minutes later, two other colonels belonging to Rommel's headquarters and a staff that I had never seen before, boarded "says Himpe.
By dark, the ship was heading to the Strait of Bonifacio, where he arrived on the night of the day:
"I had served liquor to the four officers met with the captain of the building. All were conducting a very animated conversation by reviewing charts ..."
In Bonifacio, the crew of the destroyer fired cons funds on a boat on board which went up two divers with the officers.
"leaving at one o'clock in the morning the expedition remained absent about five to six hours, while I spent the night aboard the destroyer cons" said Walter Himpe who added: "Later, back in Tunisia, I was able to understand the real purpose of the expedition on Bonifacio and I had no difficulty in that the six boxes had been dumped near the Corsican port.
" Himpe officers had heard the talk turns to "an underground lake" under the cliffs of Bonifacio (under Walls) and the "desert island of Lavezzi": "They probably have hesitated on the best place to choose to sink the treasure, both in depth and relatively small currents away too violent. "
But Himpe has not been able to say what place, ultimately, was chosen to immerse the metal boxes containing the fabulous treasure.
Two underground lakes beneath the cliffsDuring the 1950s, the dives were conducted in the vicinity of Lavezzi course but also in the famous "underground lake" Well's St. Bartholomew. Because this lake is well below the cliff and he communicates well by a passage with a second smaller lake size. Other campaigns have been undertaken in future. Les deux lacs ont ?t? inspect?s. Both lakes have been inspected. En vain. In vain.
"The waters of this lake would be completely dark. Blind eels, many more than two meters will evolve. Trapped in this underground, they are probably able to breed normally and have reached this size is extraordinary" we have read in some relationships rather fanciful time
The history of these famous eels too "blind and monstrous" has indeed fueled tales in the vigils of long ago without that fact has ever been confirmed. Besides, divers said they had seen nothing in these two lakes are also shallow.
Rest of the treasure of Rommel, he continued and still continue to fascinate, to intrigue many people.
Finally important detail. The article tells us that Walter had been Himpe a young Italian B?atricia to which he could entrust his secret.
And who knows if that B?atricia having to turn the game away, a secret operation was not undertaken as a result of his revelations of the young woman? An operation that could be successful?
The mystery still ..
Good reading
