I love the mayor’s response about some folks loving steam trains, some love tanks. And it appears that folks around there knew he had it for a long time. Must have been some lib prosecuter that found out about it. Did they find any stolen art? I didn’t see that.
I’ve followed this story a good bit. So far....NO art has been recovered. Not to say that the old guy might have Nazi art, but all of this goes to an aggressive prosecutor. Now, the guy could have bought the tank with a special license and some folks think that he instead (trying to avoid paperwork)....bought it via a Czech or Slovak front office, and just hauled the tank into the warehouse that he had. The cops refused to participate in the tank recovery deal and they had to ask the local German military to step in and recover the tank.
I would speculate that when everything is said and done....he’s got paperwork for everything, and the prosecutor will have to return every single item.
