Anyone know much about Operation Seraglio? When Hitler saw the war was not going the way he'd hoped for in 1945, he evacuated his guys from the Berlin bunker. Operation Seraglio was the plan to get his top people out.

The last flight out was a transport plane. Supposedly carrying ten heavy chests under the supervision of Hitler's personal valet Sergeant Wilhelm Arndt. The plane ultimately crashed into the Heidenholz Forest, near the Czechoslovak border.

Some of the wreckage was stolen by locals before the police and SS could get to the area and secure it. It is claimed that when Hitler was informed of the crash, he said "I entrusted him with extremely valuable documents which would show posterity the truth of my actions!". So it is believed that in the cargo, there were various documents but no indication of anything else. This seems odd to me.

I'm trying to find any more info or speculation out about what was on that plane and where it eventually ended up but all I can find is stuff on the forged Hitler diaries. It doesn't seem much investigation has gone on re. the crash and aftermath. For instance, how bad the crash was, big fiery explosion limiting recovery or whatever. There were two survivors of the crash so it couldn't have been that bad. Could anything have survived and moved somewhere else etc. There would have only been a couple of weeks or so between the crash and the Nazis surrendering. So not long.
