‘I cannot sleep’: Release of Nazi treasure map sees hunters descend on small Dutch hamlet

An old map believed to reveal the location of a hidden Nazi hoard has sparked a frenzied search – and annoyed locals – in a Netherlands village where amateur treasure-hunters have arrived in droves.

The map was made public by the Dutch National Archive last week and published online after being kept secret for 75 years.

It was among several documents declassified on 3 January as the archive celebrated its annual open access day.
