| "Four watercolours
painted by Adolf Hitler are likely to stay in the hands of the US army,
as a result of a Supreme Court ruling. The paintings, which were seized
in Germany after World War II, are at the centre of a long-running court
battle between the US Government and a German family. Heirs of the late
German photographer Heinrich Hoffmann insist he was the victim of wartime
art pillaging, and mounted a court challenge against the US Government
for taking the paintings, claiming millions of dollars in damages. "Hitler's watercolours include street scenes and war landscapes painted before and during World War I. American forces discovered them in 1945, not long after Hitler committed suicide, in a German castle where Hoffmann had stored them during the war. The Bush administration urged the court to reject any appeal, arguing that the pictures Hitler painted in his early years could be categorised as art confiscated 'in order to de-Nazify Germany'. The government said the works legally belong to America under a US-German treaty signed after World War II." |
