Map to possible Nazi treasure worth millions of pounds is revealed

If you are an aspiring treasure hunter, the likelihood is you have seen Indiana Jones.

Just like in the hit films, documents have finally been released in the Netherlands, with ‘clues to a never-found treasure’.

A map which may show where Nazis buried millions of pounds have been made available to the public.

It is believed that watches, jewels, cut and polished diamonds, and jewelry were swiped from a bank in the city of Arnhem by Nazi soldiers.

Thousands of items have been added to the National archives in The Hague from today, and are now available to members of the public.

They include the map and other documents thought to show the spot where the treasure has been hidden in the Betuwe region of Gelderland.

Several efforts were made to find the loot, but it was never uncovered, NL Times reported.

This means the treasure may have already bee unearthed by people, and never announced to the public.

Annet Waalkens, of the National Archives, told a Dutch broadcaster: ‘During the defense of Arnhem, there was an explosion at a branch of the Rotterdamsche Bank on the Velperweg.

‘German soldiers put loot in their coats at the scene.’

The rumor is that the loot was placed in ammunition boxes which were buried in Ommeren.

The Dutch state even brought a Nazi officer back to the Netherlands to try and find it, but without result.
