Thousands of documents in the boxes could result in new information about Nazi activity in Argentina in the early years of World War II.

Historians have expressed excitement over the discovery of the artifacts, which could contain clues to the regime's money trail.

Crates containing documents from Nazi Germany have been rediscovered in the basement of Argentina's Supreme Court. The unusual find was made as workers were clearing the building's basement ahead of its archives being moved to a newly created museum.
