The SS officer's diary that was said to have revealed the location of Nazi loot is a forgery, experts have now claimed.
Last year, it was reported that experts searching for Adolf Hitler 's hidden gold found that Nazi descendants may have handed over an important letter - which they believed could uncovered another lost treasure.
It was uncovered by a team from a non-profit organisation in Opole, Poland, who had been been searching for £200million of Hitler's gold in the grounds of an 18th-century palace in Poland.
