Nothing to see here: Dutch village calls off search for Nazi loot

Ommeren became hive of activity after Dutch National Archive unveiled map featuring a red ‘X’ in January

A Dutch village that became the focus of a frenzied treasure hunt after a map allegedly showed Nazi loot buried there during the second world war has declared the search over – and said nothing was found.

The small hamlet of Ommeren did conclude that there had indeed been treasure buried there, but that it was removed after the war.
