An old map believed to mark the spot where German soldiers hid treasure worth millions of dollars during World War II sparked the imagination of amateur treasure hunters in the Netherlands this week.

Armed with metal detectors and shovels, groups wandered through the fields surrounding rural Ommeren in the east of the country after the map was made public by the Dutch National Archive on Tuesday.

The archive said the map was believed to indicate where Nazi soldiers had hidden four large boxes filled with diamonds, rubies, gold, silver and all sorts of jewelry which they had looted after an explosion at a bank in August 1944.

Goering probably took it all for himself.

They would probably fare better looking for the Biden bribes.

If it’s still there, and not recovered after the war by the perps, I’ll be surprised.

Looks like the Europeans are still looting the wealth of the Jews there. Oh well, they’ll need the money to buy US LNG.

Energy from America means no money for Putin’s Terror Invasions.

“Energy from America means no money for Putin’s Terror Invasions.”

If it makes the US RICH, particularly where I live, then I’m good with it too.

And by the way, plenty of other markets of Putin’s Natural Gas.

Not mentioned much anymore, but the Netherlands was the worst collaborators at turning their Jews over to the Nazis. A greater percentage of Dutch Jews were turned over than any other country in western Europe.

“Not mentioned much anymore, but the Netherlands was the worst collaborators at turning their Jews over to the Nazis.”

I suspect Soros did a stellar job of doing the same in Hungary.

Other markets aren’t paying as much as Europe was.

BLACK BOOK is about a Jewish woman, who is trying to survive, in Netherlands during World War 2...

I did enjoy the movie...

By the way, Canadians and British were mostly responsible for liberating Netherlands...American troops did not play a huge role...US troops did participate in Market Garden....
