[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9494819, member: 2844"]Overhere the Germans generally stole jewellery and other precious metal items, expensive clothing, even books and historic looking documents. Those thieves were the individual soldiers, who did most of the stealing. They would also confiscate bronze and other metals for the weapons industry. They would only steal other items in organized looting in evacuated areas, like Arnhem. There they came with trucks marked "Presents from Holland!", on which they loaded furniture and other household goods to be sent as "presents" to German households.:rolleyes: I can imagine the odd porcelain item would end up in such a truck, but I can't think why a porcelain industry would take that into account.[/QUOTE]
