A map that could reveal where the Nazis hid looted riches that could be worth millions during World War II has been released to the public for the first time.
The treasure map purports to show where German soldiers buried a loot of valuables stolen during the Battle of Arnhem in the Netherlands in 1944.
It purports to show the items, which could include jewelry, watches and diamonds, were buried near the town of Ommeren in the country’s central Gelderland region.
The map had been hidden in the National Archives of the Netherlands for decades, but has now been made public along with hundreds of other World War II documents.

Over the years, there have been multiple searches for the loot, but nothing has been found, and treasure hunters could find the loot, the Netherlands timetables reports.
In an attempt to find it, the Dutch state even brought a Nazi officer into the country to assist in the search, but nothing was recovered.
It could also have been randomly found by passers-by and unreported, or picked up by the Nazis before the end of the war.
An expert told a local broadcaster that German soldiers had “put loot in their coats” during a bank robbery.
The map seems to show that the loot was buried near the town of Ommeren, but searches in the decades since have turned up nothing.
Annet Waalkens of the National Archives said: “During the defense of Arnhem, there was an explosion at a branch of the Rotterdamsche Bank on the Velperweg.”
The documents have been released as part of Archives Open Access Day.
They also include documents from a committee that analyzed allegations of abuse in Dutch internment camps towards alleged collaborators.
“The file contains heartbreaking stories of torture, humiliation and revenge against this group of ‘illicit Dutch’,” he said.
“The shackles used to chain detainees, sometimes for weeks, are tangible proof of the often inhumane conditions in these post-war camps.”
It’s not the first time that rumors of buried Nazi loot have sparked the imagination of treasure hunters.
A dispute broke out last year between enthusiasts looking for Nazi gold and historians who said they were looking in the wrong place.
The Silesian Bridge Foundation had been excavating the grounds of an 18th-century palace in the Polish village of Minkowskie, where they believed £200m worth of Nazi gold and other valuables stolen by Himmler’s SS were hidden.
It broke out after the foundation said the location was revealed in a war diary written by an SS officer at the end of World War II.
But historians whom the foundation “invited to verify” the paper said their analysis was “not entirely positive.”
Posting on Facebook, historians from a group called the Discoverer Magazine Exploration Group (GEMO) said: ‘Our most important finding is that the village of Minkowskie is NOT mentioned in the ‘War Diary’.
“This may be difficult for the Foundation, because it is the only place where their excavation work is taking place at the moment.”
