In Bibliophiles and Bibliothieves, Opritsa Popa has documented what
might justifiably be described as the most celebrated case of
looting of two German cultural treasures by a member of the U.S.
Army at the end of World War II and their subsequent odyssey across
both an ocean and a continent: the pilfering from a cellar in Bad
Wildungen of the ninth-century Liber Sapientiae, containing the two
leaves of the oldest extant German heroic poem, the Old High German
Hildebrandslied, along with the fourteenth-century illuminated
Willehalm codex, both of which had been removed from the State
Library in Kassel for protection from bombing raids.
