Nazi looted art

The Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen sold NS-looted art that was looted by the Nazis until the 1970s. The works of art were given to them by the Americans after 1945 on condition that they be returned to their original owners. However, this was ignored and the works of art were either sold or even returned to relatives or the Nazi functionaries themselves who had stolen the works of art.
