quotation
This revealed that, towards the end of February 1945, some 20 lorries under Temmler's command had been deployed to transport the plunder into Germany. The greater part of the contents of the trucks was traced to Hilden, a city near Düsseldorf. In March, the chief investigator, an SS officer named Oskar Wenzky, reported that 'at least' 60 paintings and prints, probably including 'some very valuable ones', had been found. Wenzky ordered that these were to be placed under police protection. (English)
