After an emotional goodbye to Dr Radic and Fatma, to whom they pledge to continue translating the Ottoman field diary, the group embarks on a long, reflective train ride. Along the way, they share memories from childhood, deepening their bond and revealing pieces of their pasts.Late at night, they arrive in Osijek, where they are greeted by Dr. Zudmar, an acquaintance of Dr. Radic, who promises to take them to the site of an ancient Ottoman fortress. The following morning, Dr. Zudmar leads them to the Tvrđa, Osijek’s citadel, built atop the remains of an Ottoman stronghold. Here, the group hopes to discover traces of the treasure’s journey—specifically, the relic’s purported passage through Osijek during an Ottoman campaign toward Vienna in the 17th century. Dr. Zudmar’s recounting of the area’s layered history and Ottoman past enhances the mystery surrounding their mission, bringing the location’s complex history to life.As they survey the fortress, the team is caught off guard by the presence of a German archaeological team conducting a mysterious excavation. Lotte grows visibly uneasy upon spotting Dr. Sigmund Becker, a Nazi-affiliated historian she recognizes from Germany. His presence in Osijek is no coincidence: Becker has been investigating relics of potential political and cultural power, raising concerns that his interests align with Nazi ambitions. Fitz and Milan cautiously approach Becker, hoping to gather more information, but he reveals little beyond vague descriptions of his “historical research,” leaving them with a sense of growing menace.With no significant findings in Osijek, the team ultimately decides to return to Ljubljana, hoping for new clues in Osijek, having reached a dead end. On the train ride back, they lighten the mood by swapping stories of youthful adventures and mishaps, reinforcing their sense of camaraderie. However, this brief reprieve ends abruptly as they arrive at the museum in Ljubljana, only to find it surrounded by police and staff in a state of distress. Fatma, shaken and tearful, informs them that Nazi agents have attacked Dr Radic and stolen the Ottoman war diary from his safe—a devastating blow to their mission.Realizing the stakes have only intensified, each team member feels a renewed determination to protect the Hattin Treasure from falling into the wrong hands. Now more than ever, they understand the danger they face as they prepare to go head-to-head with Nazi operatives who will stop at nothing to claim the relic’s power for themselves. With time running short and the enemy closing in, Fitz, Liz, Lotte, and Milan must devise a plan not only to recover the stolen diary but also to thwart a threat far larger than they’d imagined.Read the complete episode in: <a href="https://lostworldsexplorers.wordpress.com/2024/11/02/a-trip-to-croatia/" target="_blank">A Trip to Croatia</a></blockquote>
