According to the archives, three large boxes containing diamonds, rubies, gold coins, watches and assorted amenities that the Nazis looted after bombing a bank in the city of Arnhem at the entrance of the Netherlands in August 1944 could be hidden inside. the place shown on the map.

Shortly after the flight, the Dutch institute, which was responsible for tracking German property in the country, received a map from a German soldier. The document file, which contains the map, was made public this week because the maximum period of 75 years that can be kept secret has passed, writes The Guardian.

The treasure’s existence has never been fully proven. In 1947, the Pesto Institute made several unsuccessful attempts to find it, said national archivist Anne-Marieke Samsonov of Reuters news agency. We don’t know if the treasure exists. The Institute was doing very well, and stories about it seemed favorable to him. But he never found the treasure. And if there is, someone can dig it up for him, he added.

Vude is a group of people with metal detectors. At first they told me about the treasure so I could look for it. the chances that he will still be here after 70 years are very slim, but I want to give it a try, 57-year-old Jan Henzen told the Reuters office.

A map with trees and red trees marking where the treasure should be hidden stimulates the imagination, says former Ommeren mayor Klaas Tammes, only now leading a foundation of landowners that could house the treasure.
