1971ref. 79497New York NY: Hawthorn Books Inc 1971. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Fair. x 214 pages. There are some tears and chips to dust jacket edges. Pencil erasure residue on fep. Includes Foreword by Joseph Anthony Horne Footnotes Acknowledgments Bibliography and Index. Also includes 26 black and white photographs. Eight days after France fell to the Germans on June 22 1940 Hitler sent out an order demanding "the placing in security of all objects of art whether they belong to France to private owners or to Jews." For the next four years Nazi leaders schemed squabbled and defied each other in a stubborn struggle for the possession of French art. The curators of the Louvre had been prepared for the edict and had made elaborately detailed plans in advance to save France's artistic heritage from falling into German hands. The author was a noted French artistic authority. She has been the Director of the International Print Exchanges and was part of the ownership team of a major French Art Gallery. She was the author of the Shorewood Art Reference Guide and was the translator of numerous French works into English. As an Art Historian Ms. Simon obtained access to previously classified document during her research on The Battle of the Lourve. She also interview many of the American French and Germans who were participants or knowledgeable observes of the events described in this important and impressive work. This information was derived from on-line sources: Art theft and looting occurred on a massive scale during World War II. It originated with the policies of the Axis countries primarily Nazi Germany and Japan which systematically looted occupied territories. Near the end of the war the Soviet Union in turn began looting reclaimed and occupied territories. "The grand scale of looted artwork by the Nazis has resulted in the loss of many pieces being scattered across the world." Minyard 2007 A large plan was drafted by the Nazis for much of the stolen art to be featured in a so-called Führermuseum which would display much of the art plundered by the Nazis. This museum would feature works that were not considered to be "degenerate art" and would instead solely focus on the aesthetics that Hitler considered to be "good" and was to be created in the city of Linz. However this museum was never created and much of the art that may have been on display there is still missing today. The Nazis were so vehemently against the loss of the art that they had plundered for this museum that there was a plan to destroy a stockpile of art saved for the Führermuseum at the Altaussee salt mines which held over 12000 pieces of stolen art using eight 500-kilogram bombs. Nazi plunder refers to art theft and other items stolen as a result of the organized looting of European countries during the time of the Third Reich by agents acting on behalf of the ruling Nazi Party of Germany. Plundering occurred from 1933 until the end of World War II particularly by military units known as the Kunstschutz although most plunder was acquired during the war. In addition to gold silver and currency cultural items of great significance were stolen including paintings ceramics books and religious treasures. Although most of these items were recovered by agents of the Monuments Fine Arts and Archives program MFAA also known as the Monuments Men on behalf of the Allies immediately following the war many are still missing. While the Nazis were in power they plundered cultural property from every territory they occupied. This was conducted in a systematic manner with organizations specifically created to determine which public and private collections were most valuable to the Nazi Regime. Some of the objects were earmarked for Hitler's never realized Führermuseum some objects went to other high-ranking officials such as Hermann Göring while other objects were traded to fund Nazi activities. In 1940 an organization is known as the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg für die Besetzten Gebiete The Reichsleiter Rosenberg Institute for the Occupied Territories or ERR was formed headed for Alfred Rosenberg by Gerhard Utikal The first operating unit the western branch for France Belgium and the Netherlands called the Dienststelle Westen Western Agency was located in Paris. The chief of this Dienststelle was Kurt von Behr. Its original purpose was to collect Jewish and Freemasonic books and documents either for destruction or for removal to Germany for further "study". However late in 1940 Hermann Göring who in fact controlled the ERR issued an order that effectively changed the mission of the ERR mandating it to seize "Jewish" art collections and other objects. The war loot had to be collected in a central place in Paris the Museum Jeu de Paume. At this collection point worked art historians and other personnel who inventoried the loot before sending it to Germany. Göring also commanded that the loot would first be divided between Hitler and himself. Hitler later ordered that all confiscated works of art were to be made directly available to him. From the end of 1940 to the end of 1942 Göring traveled twenty times to Paris. In the Museum Jeu de Paume art dealer Bruno Lohse staged 20 expositions of the newly looted art objects especially for Göring from which Göring selected at least 594 pieces for his own collection. Göring made Lohse his liaison-officer and installed him in the ERR in March 1941 as the deputy leader of this unit. Items which Hitler and Göring did not want were made available to other Nazi leaders. Under Rosenberg and Göring's leadership the ERR seized 21903 art objects from German-occupied countries.
