or not, the trade in fake Hitlers continues.
However, after the police in Germany seized 67
alleged Hitler paintings and drawings in 2019, the
trade seems to have shifted to the United States,
where the Justice departments don't seem to care

didn't
stop Thies from stating that all works were
attributed to Hitler. According to whom? Right,
according to the (late?) representative of forger
Konrad Kujau. Thies added: "Some might well be
originals" and "I still have about
300 works from the Mertschinsky collection."
