Hitler's goddaughter fails in bid to win back Nazi loot
Adolf Hitler’s goddaughter has failed in her bid to access artwork stolen by her infamous Nazi father, Hermann Goering, during WWII.
Goering’s daughter Edda, 76, had petitioned the state of Bavaria to access to her family’s possession, the Telegraph reports. Her father, one of the most senior Nazi figures, had amassed a vast collection of property and artworks stolen during the latter stages of the war. His assets, estimated at more than A$250m, were confiscated after the fall of the Third Reich. Ms Goering, who lives in Munich, had asked for only a small amount of the assets to be returned, enough for a “subsistence livelihood”. The hearing before the Bavarian parliament’s Legal Affairs Committe lasted just a matter of minutes before being dismissed. It followed a failed petition in the 1960s to have another painting returned to her family’s care. Commander of the German air force or Luftwaffe, Goering was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials in 1946. He committed suicide the night before he was due to be hanged. read full article at source: http://www.9news.com.au/world/2015/0...back-nazi-loot |
