what i have behind me is a brilliantly executed copy, and the real amber room was stolen by the nazis from here from catherine 's palace in the fall of 1941, and after the victory. she disappeared without a trace. the missing relic has become perhaps the most expensive cultural loss of the second world war around it is nothing but mysteries. why was the room not evacuated from this palace, although there was a possibility for this. why hitler was so eager to get it and why fragments of the amber room are found in different countries this unique rarity is surrounded today a huge number of myths, legends and strange
2:11 pm
incidents, many of which are associated with the death of people. 17 people died, who were on the verge of discovering its location. there are many similar stories around the amber room and surprise with an amazing version. why has the search for the amber room become deadly? why were all those people killed who only came close to revealing her secrets and what they wanted to tell at the big press conference, the most famous seeker of the amber room, german citizen georg stein, but did not have time to do so.
2:12 pm
on august 20, 1987, georgestein went to a meeting with two former officers of the rosenberg special group, as they introduced themselves to him on the phone, they promised to provide important information on the amber room, it was worth searching for it for many years and finally made sensational discoveries. he was already preparing for the triumphant press conference when the call rang, the researcher responded without hesitation, not even suspecting that he was going to meet his death. his body was found on the outskirts of the town of aldorf in a random passerby eight stab wounds terrible brutal murder not solved so far. all the unique
2:13 pm
information, painstakingly collected over the years of searching , remained in the stein archive, understands the value and importance of these documents, the friend and colleague of the researcher, baron eduard fund, folzwein, bought the archive of relatives and solemnly handed over to the soviet union i don’t know what to do with the gift moscow officials sent documents to kaliningrad archive and safely forgot about everything. here in this little room next to it, and he is there lay and worked with him. there is one of us. uh, the former translator is confused. hmm, he is somehow very fast and even. here in the vault for 30 years a real bomb lay the archive of the secret - this is the key that reveals the secret of the amber room and many other values \u200b\u200btaken out of the soviet union in germany stein spent gigantic sums and years of his life on these. because of them, he completely went bankrupt
2:14 pm
, buried his wife, who could not bear bankruptcy, received numerous threats and was brutally murdered for all 30 years. only a few people looked in his record. i would say. eh, in principle, you can list on the fingers, right? historian and publicist alexander mosyakin, one of them, working on a series of books in the amber room, he has been coming here from riga for several years in a row to study the archive in taina and here’s good luck, he found several documents that mysteriously disappeared during the archive’s move from europe to moscow alexander mosyakin i also found out that in the archive there was a letter from georg stein who wrote just before her death, which remained a mystery in it, since
2:15 pm
the letter vanished without a trace, but even without the letter much has become. clear. georg stein died before reaching the amber office, but he left us the key to unraveling his disappearance in his archive. here it is. and we took advantage of this key and now we will be the first to reveal the secret of the famous amber room for you, we will begin our investigation from the catherine’s palace of the place from where the unique rarity was stolen by the german invaders in the fall, 41 years old, katerinushka, my friend, core. hello, and here i announce that
2:16 pm
our arrival here is not without reason enthusiastically written off spouses about their visit to prussia. peter the king gave me a hefty present with an amber cabinet, which had long been wished for. who in the world. this is a gift from the launching king to your e, a petrified defeat of what let me and russia look for and attenuation they were looking for not only partnership presses surprisingly
2:17 pm
, this quite traditional exchange of gifts or poverty gave rise to many mystical houses and the first secret associated with the amber room, as if peter and friedrich swore that the relic could be in russia as long as the tsar's dynasty was on the throne romanov, of course, is nothing more than a beautiful legend. in general, it is hard to believe that the old oath prevented the precious rarity from being taken away from the rapidly advancing front, but why then the amber they didn’t even try to evacuate the room, tsarskoe selo, the catherine palace, firstly, no one could even imagine that the enemy would approach the walls of leningrad. it was simply out of the question. it was absolutely impossible. this is true, however, 32,000
2:18 pm
items from the exposition of the catherine's palace still managed to be brought to the rear. and the most expensive exhibit. why did you leave? and the amber room is a special case because it crumbled. and so, when they began to dismantle it, the mosaics began to crumble. amber is really enough fragile material, but the room was constantly restored. the first repair took place in the middle of the 18th century and cost the imperial treasury 75,977 rubles. that was a lot of money in those days. they could buy several estates. all further restorations also resulted in a round sum, therefore, it is hard to believe that the amber
2:19 pm
panels have worn out so seriously. the eighth wonder of the world is what the amber room is called all over the world for 224 years, it stood in russia and no doubt would have stood to this day, if not for the war, which in september 1941 destroyed the catherine palace. so why did the soviet authorities not have enough for three whole months in order to save the unique relic, and six german soldiers, led by a non-commissioned officer, dismantled the amber room in 36 hours, put the panels in boxes and calmly sent it all to koenigsberg . mass evacuation testified that that the city would be surrendered, so a tough evacuation command was not received for a very long time. and when it turned out that german tanks were already on the way it was too late to evacuate there were practically
2:20 pm
no men left. all the men went to the front and thought that someone would come and do something, but then when they saw that the situation was already so very dangerous. yes, they began to close all these mosaics. they were sealed at the catherine's palace. we discovered another strange fact long before the start of the war in 1936, lists of museum exhibits were compiled that were subject to evacuation, but the amber room, for unknown reasons, was not included in these lists, moreover, in the fortieth year updated lists are gone. and the double inventory book of the amber room did not appear either. and here you see, the cherished word of the amber zone, you will find a chest of drawers here. here you will find the mosaic. here you will find a description of all the items made of amber that were in the amber room; they are not there, the
2:21 pm
panels themselves. they seem to be missing. or maybe there was a special reason for the disappearance of these lists and someone deliberately seized them, as anatoly mikhailovich told me. why was there a direct order from moscow until further notice that the amber room was not evacuate kuchumov alexander mikhailovich in 1941 , he headed the work on the evacuation of the museum collections of tsarskoe selo after the war, he was a member of the commission for the search for valuables stolen by the nazis all his life, he devoted his life to museum work, dreamed of the fact that once the amber room would return to its original place. there is a version that allegedly stalin was preparing a gift to hitler in connection with the conclusion of the fish trail hammer pact and so on, and aleksey tovsky suggested this idea to him to write. that is, is it possible to conclude that they have already prepared
2:22 pm
an amber room for evacuation, but not to moscow, but in germany, how true is this version? no, she doesn't know, but at least she can explain why on the list where in the thirty-eighth of the thirty -ninth year, where could she be were seized? by the way, it was with the coming to power of hitler in germany that amber began to pay special attention to its active propaganda as a truly german national stone. what a beauty it is not surprising that for the sake of it people went a lot in the 17th century, the prussian kings appropriated a monopoly the right to collect the sun stone was forbidden to local residents under pain of death , the ancient prussians called amber a burning stone. really. look for rays of electric light. and under the sun. he burns.
2:23 pm
uh-huh, he began to build his capital, where the city cannot be built at the cost of huge sacrifices, swamps under the blows of devastating floods, a city of amazing beauty will grow, years will pass, and it will turn the life of the whole country upside down, change the structure of power, life habits and even the appearance of its given away thanks to the iron by the will of peter the great, russia will become the only country in the world that will build a navy literally from scratch. he loved manual labor , forged, made anchors, tore paper with his teeth. the life of the courtiers was bright, like fireworks, but until the last day of his life, the emperor would not decide to whom to transfer

2:29 pm
powerful hitler's propaganda grandiose and pompous. he wanted to make his native austria and the city of lenses happy with the world's largest museum and bring all the masterpieces created by mankind there. it was his project that began with the robbery of german jews, sent to concentration camps, but gradually came to a total robbery of the territories occupied by the nazis, special trophy units collected filtered sculptures, works of decorative and applied art. the most interesting things were offered to hitler for consideration for his museum. the rest was distributed between the nazi elite and other german museums. during the war, the amber room became the object of the german leadership , some and all such crazy criminals. they
2:30 pm
understood the amber room as the german heritage. culture in russia which they have to free a great robbery. it was not just military people. this was the state policy of the third reich. nothing hitler about the museum. as a symbol of world domination, the main robber of the third reich brought to life. alfred rosenberg who says it is enough to destroy the monuments of the people so that they cease to exist as a nation already in the second generation. alfred rosenberg, the minister for the occupied eastern territories, a baltic german, studied in moscow considered himself a connoisseur of russian culture loved russian icons and dostoevsky in the eighteenth year he emigrated to germany was hitler's closest ally and plundered his former homeland on a grand scale.
2:31 pm
in addition to the rosenberg headquarters in germany, there were several more structures created to capture cultural property on the front line, they were collected by trophy units, which then transferred the valuables to specialists, if these were book archives, then special services were involved in the work, if a work of art or ancient rarities, then three structures fought for the right to receive them at once, a special unit of the wehrmacht, employees of the rosenberg headquarters and a special mission of the fuhrer museum in lenses. who is ahead of whom? by the way, this happened with the amber room. the amber room was such a coveted booty that the bosses of the third reich waged a fierce fight with each other for it. when the german
2:32 pm
troops were on the outskirts of tsarskoye selo, the question of who would get the famous internment room had not yet been decided by the representatives of the fuhrer's mission, they should have appeared. here after 2 weeks early in the morning, september 17, 1941. the first german battalions entered tsarskoye selo, and the very next day, the senior officers looked at the catherine palace with surprise. i admire the luxury of its decoration and the abundance of the rarest works of art. the first germans, of course, would have been mischievous, the palace, it was still beautiful, because the carving, because this decorative frame. the parquet remains. remained in the silks of the walls. remained plafonds and
2:33 pm
some things frames. uh, let's say the picture was taken away by roma catherine's palace remained the residence of the russian tsars, the largest palace complex in russia during the great patriotic war, it was completely plundered and heavily destroyed, its restoration took many years and continues to this day, as well as the search for the main decoration of the palace of the amber room for the german invaders was a matter of honor. find an ancient prussian rarity , which they thought was the amber room. it was fyodor's order to find her and return her to her historical homeland. they gazed around the halls of the palace in wonder, and could not find the amber cabinet. did they manage to hide it or bring it out, in fact, the amber room was in its original place.
2:34 pm
when did the germans come here? what they could see, they saw a room in which there was a carving. here is this upper part of the tier, it was not closed, because it was a painting and there was no light, let's say. but they saw a beautiful carving. i think so, they saw parquet covered with sand. eh, they could already guess that there was something wrong here, they were curious, of course, and they obviously tore off. i'm like this i imagine that they dressed tore off. this cardboard was untied marley, they looked into something there. i took the german soldier under me, they wanted to receive, as a souvenir, one piece of amber, or some kind of figures they were from the room and took them with them. it was then that
2:35 pm
the ruin of the amber masterpiece began and its division into separate elements, which later found in different places. the first one has disappeared. this is a florentine mosaic. one of the representatives, as they say, this active army even broke one of the florentine mosaics, he thought that it was good value, so to speak, and at the next vacation, respectively, to your homeland in germany. by the way, this is the only fragment of the amber room, which, 60 years later, surfaced on the black market of germany, it was bought out and after numerous examinations. returned to russia turned out to be a paradoxical thing, the marauding officer akhtarman, who stole the florentine mosaic, saved it for us. when the unique florentine mosaics of the 18th century left the palace in order to end up with the wife of an ordinary german officer as a souvenir in
2:36 pm
tsarskoye selo arrived a real specialist in cultural values hitler’s personal envoy graf ers from salt, glory to the beans, he was instructed to deliver the amber room in königsberg there are circumstances, because the most experienced amber specialist doctor of the family was interested in her, he was at all doors so that she would return scientist, the largest specialist in amber, author of numerous books and scientific articles, director of the expert's art collections. as a student, he collected a collection of amber, claiming that frozen for millions of years back resin live 9 august forty-one. he wrote a letter. koch is. here is the amber room there, which is a must. it was made in russian style from flat amber for
2:37 pm
the coronation of the prussian king. this is our shrine. we must return it. koch promised that he would help to do this. the rule of the rekoha walks east prussia was marked by exceptional cruelty, but when it came to art and especially works from amber. he became a sentimental romantic in königsberg. even arranged holidays dedicated to the solar stone and personally took part in them. he managed to convince hitler that the amber room should return to its homeland in königsberg. eh koch, already after the war, sitting in a polish prison, he recalled the opening of the amber room in april 1942 in the königsberg castle, just as today they remember the day when the doctor of the family invited me to the grand opening of the amber room. we found ourselves in some kind of fairy-tale world. the walls of the hall were covered to the ceiling with various amber, sparkling with thousands of sparks, mirrors in
2:38 pm
crystal temples and shaken by it all. koch said you come from behind the amber room with your head. remember, this is childbirth and childbirth - it's good, they will remember it and then answered with a head, when elfred childbirth finally got the amber room, colleagues began to notice changes in his behavior. they could see how he ironed the panels of the amber room, and something found him, he reminded them of a fanatic whose main dream came true. in general , the personality of the doctor of the family is one of the most mysterious in the history of the disappearance of the amber room. scientist endlessly, devoted to his work director of art collections in königsberg on the personal order of walking the first east prussia erich. koch , he was appointed the chief custodian of the amber room, only he and a few other people knew
2:39 pm
where it was in april forty-fifth, this is the great royal castle - this is the starting point of our kaliningrad search, now the main citadels of the prussian kings are in place, this flooded pit, like a monument to the unfinished excavations and an ugly new building, for which already in soviet times, the castle was finally razed to the ground. i still remember how the famous royal castle stood on the site of this wasteland. from him, only ruins remained. we ran here to look for treasure, by the way, we found an iron cross, you won’t believe it. this is just the same south wing of the castle, where in the spring of forty-second year they assembled an amber room. there was a museum complex and the state art collection of fönigsberg, the director of which was alfred rod. well the area of the room was a small area
2:40 pm
the premises were about a third less than in tsarskoye selo. therefore, about a third of them were left with extra details, then they sent the work to different addresses with markings. the amber room is where all sorts of mysteries and discrepancies came from. quite right. each box is the internet. let us summarize the preliminary results of our investigation in october 1941. the amber room was brought here to koenigsberg. we placed it in the very center of the city, the royal castle, we will mark this place with flags. in the spring of 1942, the room entered a museum inventory of the kennisberg art collections, but under a different name, the german amber cabinet, later this particular recording will play a cruel joke with the amber room, room number 37, where the german amber cabinet was mounted a third
2:41 pm
less than the hall in the catherine palace and lower, therefore, the third part of the amber panels. it turned out, as if superfluous, and it was folded into boxes, then these panels were seen in different places, which completely confused the search for or the amber room. then in the spring of 42 another event happened extremely important for our investigation among the first visitors of the german amber room was the wehrmacht conscript and the future seeker of the amber room georg stein, he was then 18 years old. he was young and enthusiastic, and the room made an indelible impression on him as a young man. he ran home to share his delight with relatives visiting his parents was then a family friend of the oberburg. mr. leipzig interrupted this conversation. and he said
2:42 pm
quite sharply. addressing the george. remember georg all that is looted cannot be beautiful and should be returned to where it came from. and with this parting word he went to the front. in the summer of 42, the premiere of a serial film they want to offer you an alternative punishment event. how about the work of the medical examiner from june 14 on the first i remember the name to improve cerebral circulation , brain work, memory recovery, reduce fatigue and improve sleep on the object now do not forget until june 30 and get free

2:47 pm
pinnacle of excellence. military königsberg capital east prussia the city which no longer exists ancient historical monuments prussian rarities in the royal castle the death of this city is mystically connected with the disappearances of the container room until august 1944, koenigsberg, was considered one of the calmest cities in germany, the war rarely reminded of itself, the germans called such cities of refuge. you are these quiet oases fled from the bombardment by settlers from other parts of the country. i have several photos of the
2:48 pm
old koenigsberg at home. i love this city and imagining what he was like, let's say, if i lived in this city, well, probably some certain romantic moods, they would live outside and they would live young people. he was passionate about proving, his whole life. actually, because of the hobby, he died because of his hobbies, the city changed overnight from august 26 to august 27, 1944, when 174 aircraft of the british air force dropped 500 tons on koenigsberg. thus began the british action retaliation. the next bombardment was already attended by 189 aircraft. english this time tested the novelty of napalm bombs specially designed to destroy the civilian population. more than 4,000 citizens burned down like torches in their
2:49 pm
homes and bomb shelters. the entire historic center of the city was irretrievably lost. 200,000 people were left without blood at the first sounds of air raids. residents of the city rushed into special bunkers, bomb shelters. cellars did not always help out, but there were not enough places in the bunkers for everyone. therefore, at the entrances they staged real battles for a place and death for life. it would seem in such a situation no one cares, yes, the amber room, but there was one person left in the city who set the goal of his life to save the historical religion. it was a kind doctor. the bombing of the thirtieth kind on the night of august 30 was especially terrible, by the way, i was sitting all the bombardment shooting in
2:50 pm
the office with gollientary rooms under it, and he was sitting on top and said that if she speaks from god, then i will die with her. and during this bombing, six plinth panels melted. was it really the bombing that was so unexpected and amber room, again they did not manage to evacuate in time. now the germans. why was she in danger? and what happened to her next, in order to figure it out, we again turn to the archive. here is another extract from stein's archive about the movement of the amber room. uh, various places august 15, 1942 february, 1943 amber room in the royal castle february, 1943 july , 44 amber room in the vaults of the imperial bank. so, during the bombing of yantarnaya the room had already been dismantled along the underground corridor from the royal castle, it was transferred to the neighboring vault by the branches of the imperial bank, then, when the
2:51 pm
british bomb room hit the bank, it was again returned to the castle. so we have eyewitness accounts and documents confirming that the amber room was in königsberg until july 1944, then they begin to hide it and secretly transport it from one place to another precisely at one of such moments, georg stein , being a soldier of the wehrmacht, saw the amber room again. the truth is already packed in boxes. here, please, here is what stein writes in his diary on a frosty morning on january 28, 1945 , we found a convoy, trucks, drivers on the isterenberg road to germaf, which fled after that the boxes were hidden in place. we found that they contained the most valuable amber items and amber panels from near leningrad, so this concept of the
2:52 pm
amber room entered my life. well, how could the amber room turn out to be? here is a unique historical relic priceless and suddenly thrown in the middle of the road, how could this happen and where did she disappear later. here is a phrase that complements the previous information about the movement of the amber room. how did i manage to find out that this cargo was going to the fisherman's kord, in order to be sent from there to the city of sssnitz? when in the forty-fifth year, koenigsberg found himself in a
2:53 pm
dense ring of soviet troops, a real panic began in the city; local residents abandoned all the houses of the graves of their ancestors, just not to see the horrors of the war. but all the ways by land were cut off, it was possible to run. only by sea probably they tried to take the amber room out on a ship, but something prevented, most likely, bombardments began. or maybe after the discovery of the trucks, the room was nevertheless delivered to the port of destination. unfortunately, it must be said that nowhere in the materials. uh, our special services are not materials, there are counterintelligence or intelligence, there are no trophy documents that would suddenly clearly say so, like this, an amber room in so many
2:54 pm
boxes, on this ship, just such documents no, unfortunately, no. sea of value and cargo, leaving the eskinisberg through the port of pilau, i am on board the dry cargo ship mars, this ship has managed to make four voyages from here. moreover, the last time she left the saw was already on april 13, that is, 4 days after the capture of the city by soviet troops. there were 5,000 refugees on board. could the amber room be here theoretically, right? but after the torpedoing of the largest german ship wilhelm gustav in the baltic by our submarine, the nazis were afraid to take valuables out of the königsberg sea. koch even issued a special order
2:55 pm
categorically forbidden to do so. this means the amber room remained in königsberg. but then where do we go back to the archive. and when the germans began to prepare for the evacuation of valuables, you know, this is an amazing thing that i discovered for myself in the stein archive, it turns out that georg stein found the initial documents on the plans of the third reich for the burial of looted valuables. pay attention to the date of the forty-fourth year, march 17 of the forty-fourth year. the main aim was to find the necessary salt mines and here on the territory of germany, austria, the czech republic and other places, lists of potash mines of 48 objects were compiled, in addition to natural storage facilities, special-purpose storage facilities were also built, that is, underground bunkers and the first underground bunkers will no longer be created precisely in eastern russia. but in
2:56 pm
königsberg there were already quite a few old underground structures, tunnels, secret mines, military forts, which could well serve as secret storage facilities. as a child with friends, it seemed to me that i climbed all the underground structures of the city. well, how am i wrong? we didn't know much back then. i have never been. this entrance was still recently carefully disguised; it leads to the dungeon. here it is a real underground koenigsberg, if the staircase that leads down. even the railings are deeply preserved, look here. we found this place
2:57 pm
thanks to the guide. there's a hole in the floor here. wow. try lighting it up with a flashlight. depth what even the lantern does not take. there are several floors underground. quite unexpectedly, we stumbled upon. here on this tunnel. see, it used to be blocked was a massive gate, only hinges remained. the tunnel abruptly breaks off and goes into the depths, is it really scary is there anyone here? while i see only bats, they are still sleeping. well
2:58 pm
, there is no further road, the tunnel is flooded with water. the one who explored this tunnel. told me that he runs into a secret deep mine. it is also flooded with water. and no one knows how to pump it out. such secret underground structures were built throughout east prussia initially. some of them were intended for the nazi underground the germans understood that koenigsberg would sooner or later be occupied by soviet troops and prepared in advance. well
