At the end of World War II, the US Office of Military Government for Germany and Bavaria, through its Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives division, was responsible for the repatriation of most of the tens of thousands of artwork looted by the Nazis in the countries they had occupied. This book presents her archival research on the events, With the help of the US Army's Monuments Men-- the name given to a hand-picked group of art historians and museum professionals commissioned for this important duty--massive numbers of objects were retrieved from their wartime hiding places and inventoried for repatriation.Iris Lauterbach's fascinating history documents the story of the Allies' Central Collecting Point (CCP), set up in the former Nazi Party headquarters at K nigsplatz in Munich, where the confiscated works were transported to be identified and sorted for restitution.
