MAINZ, Germany – An underground "anomaly" has been discovered in a German town after a filmmaker potentially cracked a code that he believes will lead him to a hidden Nazi treasure.

For decades, a myth has taken root over millions of dollars worth of diamonds and gold bullion, which is rumored to be buried somewhere in Bavaria. Nazi leaders supposedly brought the cache to the "Alpine Fortress" that Heinrich Himmler, head of Adolf Hitler's dreaded "SS" protection squadron, hoped to erect in southern Germany.
