In 1944, amidst the chaos of Operation Market Garden, a group of German soldiers allegedly buried four ammunition boxes filled with gold and jewellery stolen from a bank vault in Arnhem. Decades later, a declassified map has sparked a modern-day treasure hunt. We travel to the Dutch countryside to follow the trail of the Ommeren Nazi gold. Along the way, we examine the dark history of the Third Reich, the failure of the Allied advance, and the enduring mystery of whether this multi-million dollar hoard is still waiting to be found.
