- English abstract
- France was a specific hunting ground for the services headed by Alfred Rosenberg (ERR) in charge of art looting; at least 100,000 works of art were looted, mostly from Jewish families. Among the numerous German art historians and museum curators who contributed, most were not put on trial after 1945. Only France attempted to bring justice. In 1950, the Paris military tribunal judged six senior members of the ERR, including Bruno Lohse, Goering’s representative in France. Even if this trial attracted little attention at the time, and if most of the accused were acquitted, it was unique in post-war Europe.
