It’s a story that could awaken your inner Indiana Jones and send you on a quest for buried Nazi treasure.
Documents have appeared in the Netherlands with “hints of a treasure never found”.
A map that can show where millions of pounds worth of loot was buried by Nazis is one of the secret documents released to the public for the first time.
Hitler’s soldiers are said to have stolen watches, cut and polished diamonds and jewelry from a bank in the city of Arnhem.
The map and other documents would show where the treasure is hidden in the Betuwe in Gelderland.
Several attempts have been made to locate the loot, but it has never been discovered, the Magazine reports.
This means that the treasure may have already been excavated by humans and never revealed to the public.
Annet Waalkens of the National Archives told a Dutch broadcaster: “During the defense of Arnhem, an explosion occurred at a branch of the Rotterdamsche Bank on Velperweg.
“German soldiers put loot in their coats on the spot.”
Rumor has it that the loot was placed in ammunition boxes buried in Ommeren.
The Dutch state even brought a Nazi officer back to the Netherlands to try to find it, but to no avail.
The map and other documents are among the thousands of documents that the National Archives of the country in The Hague will make available from today.
