Why did the Nazis steal so much art?

>>2548712
Because it's valuable.

>>2548712
because it's pretty

Multiple potential reasons.

To sell it.
To preserve it in the face of Soviet-style postmodernist destruction of art considered bourgeois and old.
To keep it in safe hands during the razing of Europe.

>>2548712
to save it from Jew bankers

German art is shit

Say that again, motherfucker.

>>2548712
same reason the fuckin Brits did.

>>2548739
And to use them as potential bargaining chips

Hitlers ambition to create his own little florance and art world where he was respected. And destory the "old" art world that rejected him.

Not only did he steal so much, he also destroyed alot of work.

A cold-hearted man with a grudge. May he rot in hell.

That's a naive way to look at it. They were protecting what they could just like famous Hollywood films with old actors

No wonder. It kinda does make sense that he built Germany as a gigantic buffer zone so that his art utopia wouldn't get razed to the ground the instant so-called artwork leaked out of it.

I'm so mean~

He destroyed jewish art that was made to launder money.

Now, art destroyed by the allies:

>One of Vincent van Gogh’s most striking self-portraits of isolation, showing the painter alone with his art supplies on a road in Provence, was destroyed in a fire in May of 1945. It was one several paintings from the Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin that was lost to fire along with works like Caravaggio’s “Saint Matthew and the Angel.”

>Similar to Van Gogh with his emblematic painting, one of Gustave Courbet’s most iconic works was also lost in World War II. Courbet’s 1849 “The Stone Breakers,” celebrated for its detailed social realism where each fray of clothing of the workers is visible, was unfortunately lost in Dresden during the war — along with about 154 other pieces that were moved to a Dresden castle lost to an Allied bomb.

>The firebombing of Dresden involved an estimated 3,900 tons of bombs and incendiaries, killed nearly 25,000 and wrecking much of the city and its cultural objects. The Dresden Gallery was one of those hit, and while much of it had been stored away, there are works from the noted museum that were forever lost. Some of it was actually confiscated and relocated to the Soviet Union after the war and sometime along the way between its removal and its return an estimated 206 paintings were destroyed and 450 remain missing.

>Perhaps it’s a little fitting that a famous work showing a Dance of Death, a tradition of paintings that are reminders of the temporary nature of life and all things, was lost to the destruction. A 1942 Allied bombing wrecked St. Mary’s Church in Lübeck including their famed Danse Macabre artwork, as well as art by Adriaen Isenbrandt and Jacob van Utrecht.

>13 paintings by Gustav Klimpt at a firebombed manor

Hitler wanted to create an art utopia like Napoleon did when he confiscated art from around the world and made the Louvre.

Hey dumbass, do you understand the difference between targeted destruction of art and collateral damage?

>oh no this beautiful art has been lost! those ebil nazis!

>Critics of the bombing have claimed that Dresden was a cultural landmark of little or no strategic significance, and that the attacks were indiscriminate area bombing and not proportionate to the commensurate military gains.

"Collateral"

>>2552715

>le art is just money laundering

Got some sources to back that up?

>>2548739
>Soviet-style postmodernist destruction of art considered bourgeois and old.
Nazi art was more modernist than soviet though. Also, Stalin wasn't Mao. He didn't go around ruining russian culture.

>>2552785

Yeah, collateral. Just like the vital military targets of Coventry Cathedral and surrounding medieval buildings, St Julians shrine in Norwich, the Wallace Collection, etc etc.

>>2552804
>1939: Britain and France declare war on Germany. Britain and France are at war with Germany following the invasion of Poland two days ago. At 1115 BST the Prime Minister, Neville Chamberlain, announced the British deadline for the withdrawal of German troops from Poland had expired.

talk shit, get hit

>the militarist society known for it's industrial prowess
>picked a fight with every single world power and wasted human and machine resources into genociding people
Hitler was a fucking jackass who bit off far more than he could chew.

>>2552822

And why did they declare war?

>>2552715
>He destroyed jewish art that was made to launder money.
Proof please.

>>2552836
The invasion of poland after getting territorial concessions and receiving communication from a world power that the invasion of poland would result in war, they knew what they were getting into and could've stood down, they didn't.

>>2552841

This triggers the stormcunt.

>>2552841
