It gets worse in the fourth book with the actions of average Germans.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-75674627321286396682016-05-07T20:02:26.438-06:002016-05-07T20:02:26.438-06:00This topic is always of interest to me.

Whatever the plot of the book you are reading it would be credible considering everything that was done in real life during WW II.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-25965507570756551752016-05-06T13:54:10.951-06:002016-05-06T13:54:10.951-06:00Fascinating.

By coincidence I have been reading a fictional story which involves looted German artworks - I wasn't sure the book got the tone of the story right. It's a sad and affecting topic, and one that doesn't suit a light-hearted approach. Your book sounds more serious - look forward to the other half.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1644690488802388716.post-345703974470618382016-05-05T22:12:13.582-06:002016-05-05T22:12:13.582-06:00Margot: Thanks for the comment.

It sounds like the book is interesting on just that score alone. And it does make me wonder about Gurlitt's lack of morality, and how he functioned on that level.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
