The account
Piotr Koper and Andreas Richter said a deathbed confession and ground-penetrating radar had led them to it. Polish ministers said they were 'almost certain' it existed, and the story went around the world. A privately funded excavation in August 2016 found no tunnel, track or train.
The sceptical view
Experts from the Kraków AGH university found no anomaly at the site; the radar 'train' was put down to natural features.
