Good news...

The horses once stood on either side of the Reich Chancellery stairs
Constructed by artist Josef Thorak, they are said to be worth £3million
They were found with other valuables in a warehouse in Bad Dürkheim
The horses, seized by the Red Army, were thought to have been melted.

The nazi art, so expensive...
