Hello Br, it’s not particularly well-written. The author chose to tell the story as a series of conversations between the various individuals involved. Nevertheless, NS Germany, Cold War Germany, Gudrun Himmler - all the elements are there. Without giving anything away, the missing statues were virtually hiding in plain site for decades.

Re: Reichskanzlei Thread
I agree. I'm glad the book exists as the content is definitely interesting, but I found his writing style to be a quite glib and sensationalist in places.Ecam wrote: ↑11 Nov 2021 13:51Hello Br, it’s not particularly well-written.

Re: Reichskanzlei Thread
You're both correct. I've read it, as well, and while pretty interesting, it was somewhat written in the style of a thriller...then sort of petered out towards the end.CPB wrote: ↑12 Nov 2021 11:24I agree.

Re: Reichskanzlei Thread
The german designation "thorak pferde reichskanzlei" leads to hundreds of links on the Internet, perhaps this video of the German TV station MDR is interesting:
Auf der Jagd nach Hitlers Bronzepferden / In pursuit of Hitler's bronze horses
Link to the german documentary: https://www.mdr.de/video/mdr-videos/rep ... n-100.html (30 minutes)
Probably also available on YouTube... ?
Please check this german online streaming portal for a possible download: https://mediathekviewweb.de
Two download links av. there, please see attached screenshots:

Re: Reichskanzlei Thread
Thank you Hans for the links. I suspect the ideal location will be the “Deutsches Historisches Museum” in Berlin. If you hear something about exhibiting them, that would be much appreciated information.
Tschüss,
Ecam

A man has done a great job of finding and organizing a photo of this building. I just showed the door.
