This first comprehensive analysis of the Third Reich's efforts to
confiscate, loot, censor and influence art begins with a brief
history of the looting of artworks in Western history. The artistic
backgrounds of Adolf Hitler and Hermann Goering are examined, along
with the various Nazi art looting organizations, and Nazi endeavors
to both censor and manipulate the arts for propaganda purposes.
Long-held beliefs about the Nazi destruction of "degenerate art"
are examined, drawing on recently developed university databases,
new translations of original documents and recently discovered
information. Theft and destruction of artworks by the Allies and
looting by Soviet Trophy Brigades are also documented.
