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.

The map, which has been in the custody of the Dutch National Archive since the county was freed from German occupation in 1945, was released this week after a 75-year confidentiality period expired.
