Default German state claims a treasure back
http://www.nysun.com/article/50691

March 19, 2007

A German state government is suing to reclaim a valuable book of 16th-century German drawings, accusing a deceased American officer of stealing the artwork in the closing days of World War II.

The suit, brought by the southwestern German state of Baden-Württemberg, is raising questions about what right Germany has to demand the return of its cultural treasures even as it is criticized for stonewalling victims of Nazism who seek the recovery of their looted artwork. The lawsuit had delayed for two years a planned sale of the book by the New York auction house Sotheby's.
