  1. Another video about this topic … You'd better make a video about all that art that has been robbed by the US-Americans when they illegally invaded Iraq.
    Please do a video about that.

  2. The greatest plunder in history was when the Soviets cleaned out Berlin of its treasures. To date nothing has been returned of the 1.2 million artworks looted and they sit in the Pushkin and Hermitage museums among others.

  3. ❗80, growing up in a neighborhood of "survivors", sleeves riding up numbered arms, smiling faces, eyes permanently etched in grief, I am still overwhelmed at the sheer audacious evil of The Third Reich's leadership. To this day, I use the word evil judiciously.

  4. The artworks that Germany looted are less than one-millionth of those in Britain and France. Aren't all the artworks at the Versailles and the Royal Museum of England looted? The level of looting by the Germans is common even during war. Germany often protected art. In the Battle of Casino in 1943, an airborne division commander carried the artwork from the monastery to safety. But the Allies destroyed the monastery. But there is not even a small memorial dedicated to the division commander. If he were an American soldier, he would have built a large monument in the monastery. On YouTube, only the German army's misdeeds are repeated countless times

  5. I’m reading comments about Britain and France stealing as much art as the Nazis, it’s not even close. The Nazis started in 1933 to 1945 and stole almost 20% of all art in Europe. France and Britain were not exactly innocent and USA had quite a few commanders ship art back to America.
