A photo claiming to be a radar image of the Nazi gold train buried inside a tunnel in Poland has been leaked.

The image taken with ground-penetrating radar (GPR) appears to show a train with cannons possibly belonging to tanks sitting at a platform, according to local newspaper Gazeta Wroclawska.

The newspaper claimed that it was this image that was shown to authorities as proof it existed - and led the country's deputy culture minister to claim that he was '99 per cent sure' something was there.

Proof? It is thought this ground-penetrating radar image was the picture which led a Polish official to declare he was 99 per cent sure something was down there. The arrows indicate where the 'cannons' are on the train

It has now been sensationally revealed the picture was first offered to a military museum in June last year by three men.

Curator Michal Mackiewicz at the Polish Army Museum in the capital Warsaw told Gazeta Wroclawska that he was approached with the image. 'They claimed they knew where an armoured train from the Second World War was hidden,' he said.

He told the paper that it was clear there was an armoured train at railway platforms, adding however, that you can't see any gold.

The curator said the men who reported it were not builder Piotr Koper from Walbrzych, Poland, and genealogist Andreas Richter from Germany who recently claimed they found the train.

The museum apparently held talks with the men to research the find further, but contact broke off.

Mackiewicz said he had not been authorised to make the photo public, but now it has been leaked alongside a picture of an armoured vehicle.

The arrows in this radar image, believed to have prompted a Polish official to declare he was 99 per cent sure something is there, point out where the cannons of the military vehicles are

Experts have urged caution over claims from Piotr Koper and Andreas Liechter that a Nazi gold train has been found in Poland. The pair appeared on television last week to swear by the fact the train does exist

But Dr Jerzy Zietek from the University of Science and Technology in Krakow told Gazeta Wroclawska: 'I’ve made thousands of GPR readings and none look like that.'

He added: 'It is obvious that the sections indicated as cannons have a different resolution to the other sections. In my opinion this is a scam.'

Tomas Jurek, head of the Lower Silesian Research Group which insists it found the train two years ago, said he is certain this is a picture of the locomotive.

'The picture shows structures not created by natural rock formations. They’re created by man,' he told MailOnline today.

Jurek said Richter and Koper had previously shown the group the picture but had asked them to sign a confidentiality agreement.

'It definitely exists,' he added.

The paper said it believed this was one of the images that led Poland's deputy culture minister to say he was '99 per cent' sure something was there.

There has been much speculation about whether the discovery of the train is a hoax, prompting the two men who sparked the international frenzy to break cover and reveal their identities.

While some believe the locomotive is filled with treasure, a source close to the investigation said it was becoming widely accepted that the WWII train could contain the remains of inmates from the nearby concentration camp Gross Rosen.

But Gazeta Wroclawska also reported today that whomever claims to have found the train has let it be known that they have a ‘bill of lading’, with a detailed description of what is on it.

It allegedly carried 300kg of gold, silver and tungsten. But no-one has seen the documents.

Richter and Koper posted a radar shot and tagged it 'Gold Train' on their website, but later denied it was anything of the sort.

The construction of the honeycomb of tunnels, bunkers and underground stations begun in 1941 and stretched from the gothic castle of Ksiaz overlooking the town of Walbrzych deep into the surrounding mountains.

The idea was to move supplies, factories and workers underground in the event of Allied bombing.

But it is also thought the tunnels could contain looted treasures as well as secret weapons testing.

In January 1945, the Red Army began its rampage across Eastern Europe as it made a beeline for Berlin.

Before they could reach the Sowa mountains where the project was being built, an S.S. unit bricked up or obliterated all entrances into the underground labyrinths.

Whatever was stored there disappeared, as did the estimated 30,000 prisoners of war used to build the complex.
