Austria to conduct search for secret Nazi nuclear weapon laboratory hidden underneath concentration camp complex Readings at site of Gusen camp near St Georgen show elevated levels of uranium - indications of subterranean implosions seven decades ago - 15 miles of tunnels lie under Gusen, a sub-camp of Mauthausen where tens of thousands of people were murdered. Hunt to find evidence of atomic research after documentary by Andreas Sulzer unnerved locals.
Austrian authorities have ordered a search of secret tunnels beneath a former concentration camp complex where Nazi scientists are believed to have conducted nuclear research in a bid to build an atomic bomb.
The probe was triggered by a TV documentary which accessed wartime archives containing blueprints and eyewitness accounts of frantic attempts to beat the Americans in the race for the weapon to win the war.
And recently, readings were taken of the area at St Georgen showing elevated levels of uranium - indications of subterranean implosions seven decades ago.
Readings taken at the site of the Gusen concentration camp near St Georgen, Austria show elevated levels of uranium - indications of subterranean implosions seven decades ago. There are 15 miles of tunnels under Gusen, a sub-camp of Mauthausen (above) where tens of thousands of people were murdered.

In January 1944, some 272 inmates of Mauthausen were taken from the camp to nearby St Georgen to begin the construction of secret galleries. By November that year, 20,000 out of 40,000 slave labourers drafted in to build the tunnels had been worked to death. (File picture of concentration camp inmates)
The 15 miles of tunnels lie under the nearby Gusen concentration camp site, a sub-camp of the notorious Mauthausen where tens of thousands of people were murdered.
At one time, 40,000 slave labourers toiled in the tunnels making war weapons, including Messerschmitt aircraft.
But now the hunt is on to find evidence of atomic research after a documentary by filmmaker Andreas Sulzer on Hitler's quest for wonder-weapons beneath the Crystal Mountain unnerved locals.
