The former US Army captain Walter I. Farmer was stationed with the
American Forces in Germany after WW II. In 1945, he worked hard to
protect important European and German cultural heritage artifacts,
such as paintings and sculptures, from being transported to the
United States. Together with other officers of the U.S. Army, who
took on this task, Farmer wrote the "Wiesbadener Manifest" which
resulted in the artifacts remaining in Germany and they can still
be seen in German museums today. In 1996, Farmer was awarded the
"Bundesverdienstkreuz" for his outstanding work. Besides being a
personal account, this autobiography presents an important document
of present-day history. It is completed by an extensive list of
documents and archive material.
