Edda Göring (1993). ‘I would like to state my father was a well liked commander, who inspires his men even to this day. I had many former comrades who spoke to me after the war, and asked me to not believe anything the Allies said about my father. He always acted correctly and had a deep respect for others. I remember he loved me and my mother very much. My father loved the culture of our people, regardless of nationality. He saw talent in every nation, and had a deep respect for the art and culture of all nations. The claim that my father “looted” works of art is obscene and a lie from his enemies. The claim that Germany stole treasures is equally false. The Allies are only trying to cover their tracks by blaming my father for looting, when they were the masters of looting Europe’s treasures.
Now Jews are getting into the fray, by claiming works they legally sold for profit, were stolen. It has become quite a lucrative racket to claim the National Socialist government stole everything.’
