Hubertus Büschel. Hitlers adliger Diplomat
Hubertus Büschel’s Hitlers adliger Diplomat: Der Herzog von Coburg und das Dritte Reich, a study of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (“Carl Eduard”) during the Third Reich, offers considerable evidence to support a recent characterization of the duke as “Hitler’s favourite royal” (Times of London, May 6, 2017). But this royal was not the only one who consorted with Nazi leaders. Prince Philipp von Hessen was arguably closer to Hitler and had a g…
Five Uncomfortable and Difficult Topics Relating to the Restitution of Nazi-Looted Art
Recent books and film treatments of the Allies' restitution efforts have tended toward the triumphalist.

Art Dealer Networks in the Third Reich and in the Postwar Period

The Faustian bargain
"Nazi art looting has been the subject of enormous international attention in recent years, and the topic of several books. But such works leave us wondering: What made thoughtful, educated, artistic men and women decide to put their talents in the service of a brutal and inhuman regime? This question is the starting point for The Faustian Bargain, Jonathan Petropoulos's study of the key figures in the art world of Nazi Germany.". "Petropoulos fo…
