involving the soviet army, the stars, the nazi art collectors, and the underworld arts unveiled next on dw, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. magic corner check hot spot for food. and some great coach on the board has to vote w travel off. we go, the berlin 1942 massive rooms, stagen stand god, it's a center of power. it says new rock chancery we are talking here cause about the most important aspect. use of the 3rd rise during world war 2 dispatches disappear without the tribes for decades,

until they turn up on the black market. to advise this purpose, i know that in those circles there was talk of up to 8000000 euro is for both sculptures. when a major rage issues on site started in the early hours of may, the 20th a story of germany, the cost featuring nazis, the saw, the associates army and lots of cash. and then i got the call. we have the horses, the, the late 19 thirty's, german artist, joseph tour at work and his studio painstakingly the model to launch the live style using play. if you had them cost in problems, 3 tons of the stuff. the commission for the sculptures was for none of us,

then the sierra adults hit lots typically wanted. the stallions need him and his new rock chance for william bell in the central power during the darkest use of german history. the these policies were placed on the need headless office, so they got the most prominent place in the 3rd, right. all it was very important for the nazis as a propaganda tool. i know this is a sudden ideology can be interpreted as of this extraordinary masculinity. ok? they estallion size. the neck is extremely large and powerful. the muscle is completely exaggerated. the whole thing speaks to certain power divided also with the horses, dogs, or even line codes. animals play the major role for the nazis, especially the hitler and his commander in chief of the german air force and forestry him and gooding. they used animals for propaganda,

either to make themselves appear home hostage, or to demonstrate the power as with the horses at the rock chancery in berlin of the, the same place, a decades like billions wilhelm strauss up the street at the cities center. it is now lined with plain pre fabricated buildings on to the nazis. this area was a prestigious excess of power, full of beak ministry, buildings and location of hitler's birthday, much. and if he's new rock chancery. today, a childcare center and playground. we hit once made his monstrous plans. it was also he is the director of sculptures. if his ideal german soldiers find artist honor breakup on the private god inside tour next to woking horses as they came to be known, who horses lodging in life these

horses. so everything is very symbolic. in 1939, germany started the 2nd world war. 6 years later, the lin playing ruins pitiless 1000 year rice was his chancel, re reduced to rubble. the fear committed suicide in his bunker. it is to bronze horses were destroyed, along with the city also at saint for decades until one day, heedless horses returned back to the home city of the name. but how and where had they been between the disappearance and reappearance? lie of a 70 years of check, a german history and the crime story. a very german crime story. everything came together, you know, a mystery. the hands of the characters. uh, people with nazi sympathies. the moment that got the 1st picture of the color

picture of the horses when i started to realize them still might exist. at that moment, i hardly could brief. i knew if we are going to recover the houses, it will be the best story of my life. you know amsterdam. this is where a key figure of this crime story lives in woods. the legendary detective who once recovered a picasso with millions and oscar wilde's missing ring. i took brand is one is not without it's dangerous. i have 2 colleagues at the time and sometimes we have quite some evidence that we will be in fall out. we have to do with people former staci agents and neo nazis, people with a lot of money. and sometimes we have discussed this,

and we was quite certain that we were dealing with maybe dangerous people, a good 600 kilometers away at the end stage office of criminal investigation. germany's top on club was also hearing them is that he was hostess, had resurfaced chief inspector renee, a launch was already known for bringing down germany's most grace and the art for jeff. now the inspector was fascinated by the case. he list missing horses a month in november, it started back in november 2013 when an elderly lady contacted us to and she reported that you've been made an offer to buy the horses by 2 o'clock for an amount in the millions. and then you went in the top pick out interested when the lady also gave us a recent photograph and the color photograph photo showing the horse cultures pop open on the field is good to and the offices in that got my attention for convict

the fashion shows you get this horses in front of a plastic, couldn't dictate as a numerous bronze sculpture has suddenly appeared on the underground market on sale for millions of euros. renee, a launch and onto a branch, 6 off in search of the statues. that was the whole says, even the real deal. the media conclusion is that the sculptures must be a fake brand to shoot like everyone else that hit the school since a boon and the firestorm at the end of the war. i salt and most people felt that the house had been destroyed during the battle of believe we thought they, they must have been for generation out now. so many forgeries in and everything an odd but also especially and, and we'll talk to us. but then brian made a discovery in the last known for the just the dictation weeks before his death. hitler once again for the last time,

leaves the raft and slowly it looks at his last hold. yes. and then i realize it was taken in the gathering of the raft and see where the policies should be. but the warehouse is that what a golf hipaa stem? so in 1945, the horses weren't even in the room chancery soon i found out. now these must be the re losses. and then i started to realize if these are the real offices, i called about a story about the brand and the launch discovered that hitler did bring his horses to safety as early as 1943 before the start of the bombing rates of the building. he had been removed from the chancery. the nazis wanted to protect the so called area, not like the works of use of tor x and honor. breakfast is what glorified strength and power not undoubtedly as loud as the 2

main characters, headlong encoding, even their competitors. they still let you know every value of their store of and they did love out of cost. they did all need all the special off. they didn't like model. not while jimmy was losing world war 2, the horses would no longer in the chancery. but where were they and how could sculptures of that size and significance simply disappear? they've had the house is what brought us to the town of fleets and ponds and books for the protection, along with other works of od from berlin. and especially from the high chance that we saw it to the plan was to establish a kind of artist colony for nazi out and read some kind of kind of like a head is meant of that as well as this culture workshops, which was very large. and the works of all the move them to protect them points

back i was glad i don't think so. should we drive to rates in a small town in the older brook region notes of the land. it was here that the nazis feels a gigantic artist calling in the early forty's. the plan was to supply the entire gym and roy with nazi od lynn new room book, munich, the choice of read. so it was no coincidence on a breast to another. repeat was favorite artist slip to his mind. the house has since been demolished, but his studio remains today. scope to use angle hot looks here because he next year he good boy and this is the studio that was built during the war for on know bank of america. and it was finished in 1943 coats each tragic of on the old pop crowns bridges. bob house and even his pool, a screw. here, it seems like an ideal place to hide the horses and engelhardt has his own idea

where they would get a key for the horses were definitely not here on the estate carpet and they were workshops into leads and the horses were probably there . lashania stop. she might to rise right to m tour at competed so hitting this funny that so it seems unlikely, brett, who would have had to exclusives on his est pots of the old facts and workshops and bleats, and a still standing. hitler's stallions must have been stored here at some point. but where exactly remains a mystery? in april 1945, the soviet army crushed the result order reaching rates. and what did the rate army do with nazi ok? and specifically use of torrents brought in stands a lot of an asset questions in this case, it's

a black hole. how it ended up doub of the land. with so many unanswered questions, we go to see someone who knows a lot about the red army. the museum building calls is dedicated to germany in the soviet union in world war 2 states of mind, but the soviet troops and it was and how much ok, did the soviet army loot? it was in this house. the gemini surrender in the presence of the allies was signed on the 8th of may 1945. the 2nd world war ended right here at this table. what does that mean for the read ami live was investing students. the top of everybody knew that this was the last stage of the that's what they've been told us gets they expected that if they survived this, i'd be then they had survived the war. and now we know is that there was an order that members of the red army were allowed to send parcels home for the generals. it

was probably a whole railway cars and bonds done with on may or may have been art in them. kind of couldn't stop by give reasons on. was the orders from style and himself to steal . ok. let's get guns. could see which one likes fun. i'm from right from the start, the word trophy commissions to examine specific painting, sculptures and so on. dustin in august on sunday morning and then they were taken away as quickly as possible. pick up tons. frontier told me is it possible? that's what happened in the sense that it was the communist. it'd be me organize the transport and fest if he'd listen nazi horses. that's exactly what seems to have happened unknown to the detectives. in the 1980s, photos had a much dive. soviet soldiers standing in front of people's houses, soldiers from the barracks, an 8th of spelled, just north of the land. one of the largest soviet army bases in east germany,

to an east german underground office called slants and also secretly filled the tour at close is in the 8th as well as the barracks. the host is hard to believe. we're on an athletic field. the image is shaped and blood, but clearly recognizable the statues from the new rock chancellor rate now. and so if he attends where else to ablest found on the hunt for eye witness accounts. and we made a man who since he sold the horses here, tons might fall in the midst of avis. waldrook was one of the few who was allowed to enter the tightly got admitted to base i think that you have some idea of uh, the 1st time i was weird, i was very surprised by these huge figure standing there. i thought, well, they're probably depicting some of the typical installing us to really get back all the central for decades. the host has stood here. but then one day,

they disappeared again. without a trace. the soviet command said it was for charity. i just go through the when the big earthquake hit alma i tackled, they were taken away and melted down as aide for the earthquake victims with no part in the am i lot of the command as words were a lie. the truth was very different. all these good twins instead of sculptures, then disappeared in 1989 under very mysterious circumstances. once again, the story takes an incredible ton. and one series says that this man played a key role. alexander shall go to the club ski, colonel of east, germany's notorious secret police, the stones whose task to procure foreign count see for east germany by any means possible. including selling nazi on to waste gym and collect is it's the leads.

this might be how hitler force has made it across the inner german border. i don't, but because it was clear that this was not actually lead to, he had them secretly sold a part or, and then what's the pods added to need. odds transports. and that's how they smuggle them across the, in a german border, as well as horses sold into pieces and then hidden in a warehouse somewhere in west germany, for decades. in the seventy's and eighty's, the market was dominated by the russians understands the. because after the while the russians had confiscated those with a lot of mouth to yachts. and in the seventy's and eighty's, they needed the house currency. so they started a trade secretly to sell these confiscated nazi out to collect as in the west, sometimes neo nazis, all bodies can you imagine coming is selling secretly, nazi of to old nazi's. so it was a very big market and it still is

a big market. and i think we're talking about tens or hundreds of millions not to sculptures from the new rock china 3 now in the hands of nazi enthusiasts. but exactly whose hands and where remained a mystery until 2013. when they re surfaced on the secret market. now the hunt was in full swing in berlin. she in space to a launch build meters of shelves. space with evidence includes sofa that were leading no way be i meant to move on now in the investigation was pretty much stalled. after several months of intensive research also failed. the sales offers didn't lead us to have a good idea of this. one of the partners was that we still didn't know who had the sculptures when investigations died down for a bit of a, but things started moving again in like 2014,

the people in these entitled things with different and asked in, we're all to a brand suddenly had to lead a dubious ok dealer code named stephen said he could help. brandon by the horses, stephen seemed to know exactly who had the brand, showed up to their appointment with a hidden camera on his jacket. the detective said he had a witch client from the us who wanted the horses and that he was just the middleman meeting in a restaurant. brand convinced agent that his client was serious, but who wants to see could sell. they never since america. and they just they left the restroom to smoke. both sides were cautious, but the deal seemed to be going through the whole columbia, the difficult

because it was still on korea who had the horses, but 3 suspects imagined at once. and 3 persons which we focused on and i discovered that some of them had relations to strange people. people who have a big name and a neo nazi circles like lawyers and other people also to a group called steely hills, which is a neo nazi group. i always suspected that some of these money might have gone to the wrong people branch suspected that the fil a head ties to put to do if it's a supporter. deep stream is group still a feel for all side and help known as the nazi princess booth. it's was the door of assess, lead to high and wish him low. but if it's marsh looked at the money to support nazis and neo nazis facing prosecution. with that suspicion from trouble to

building in 2015, becoming a launch is most important with this. try when there was at night i was in building it was dark. sometimes i forget something in a long chance. remember, well think, think again, sort of a sitting there and i was given my testimony of fleet voltage time because he needed that as a witness to make these these rates of young done him. we questioned arthur brand here in berlin in may 2015 for the month. that was very important testimony funded because for the 1st time he was able to describe to us in detail the people he'd been in contact with. what he'd perhaps already seen last night from disease and what he thought about this case, he has a but he's and finding the most and from all of those things and 3 persons of interest emerged for us and speech people. we thought we might have the horses to come would have come from the store to be fair to to fitness. and in the morning

may 20th 2015 show down, 200 police launched right on the 3 suspects. one of those rates took place and bought the con in the south of germany. the search was finally on, but there were no horses inside the what's the worst day of my life, the worst day. i could not be there because i was the main witness. and i got more, i'm all nova sitting in, in my chair in the netherlands and i thought, oh my god, i have to go with hiding. this is the biggest mistake of all that. then. okay, the and then i saying we have to hosted hitler's horses from the new rice transferred already was finally found in a warehouse inside the time in southwest germany, in the position of a respected businessman, identified as ryan and w,

the statues recovered 70 years off to they went missing, were immediately confiscated. all the panic went away and there was standing there, you know, somewhere hidden on an industrial area for all these years. the wall street journal called it to the most interesting find in decades. the recovered, hitler forces made headlines around the world. the vacuum. berlin, 2022 found . i'll sit down. the launch is too nice ones building most of the alps. the vast complex on the edge of building is with the horses were brought from put on display for the 1st time. as part of the unveiled exhibition

the traces of the history remained visible. a decision was made not to restore them . instead of the house is a cabinet in story. it really has traces of history of late unless you wanted to proceed to the photo logically. you can start with the bullet holes, which was probably made around april $45.00 to about june $45.00 to $6.00. this order say i need someone to sign inch done. com. it is possible that the bullet holes were made for weeds most on the fire, but it is also possible that soviet soldiers deliberately shot at them again later . goodbye. so the, the other marks on the horse, i hear what it was welded back together after the collector had them smiled across

the, in a german border. and then we assembled to kansas. moving not someone can do that because i'm not doing this. and so the next march, that one made on the abrasion locks from the read about safely see what you can actually see because i, when the police transported them, they was stretched. the vehicle with wrecked battles in body has this night. ones in the law says, raise the question, what should be done with nazi on the back office with the question of where the such a thing as toxic art is a big discussion and i'm glad it's being when this comes out. i don't want to give a conclusive answer because i think it's the discussion that's so important. i think society has to deal with the controversial monuments being seen in public, not only in his gm's, but in the case of the houses. i do think it was right that they are in a protected space where people can decide if they want to see them or not. and where they can't have the effect that was originally intended. without the or of

power the whole suspense of corrected one in the exhibition. the also in the case might a suspend. now see, so they'll see this host to will be unpacked and presented to the public, the and so in this very gym and tale of hit, this whole says just a 10 kilometer b line from the new rock chancery with a once students confident symbols of the dictatorship that was soon to crumble and the detectives renee launch is investigating a spectacular new case training more on criminals to a grand wrote a book about the case that's being translated into 15 languages. and he's still

working, searching for missing out. and the final chapter, a hollywood studio has secured the rights to the material, the thriller about the horses, the choice of the way through the 20th century german history. one day we will very likely see the stallions again, this time on the big screen. ok, that's inseparably linked to a murderous audiology. the the
