I imagine there are probably thousands of pieces of art in the hands of people who are aware of what they have. They probably keep this quiet for a variety of reasons. Some might be afraid to give it back, some may want compensation, some may even want to be selfish and keep their valuable art. I wonder if more would be willing to return these items if they were compensated in some way. Maybe a replica of the art or something like that for the person that returns the piece. It would be a nice gesture.
Lol.. I found him interestingly sincere and funny..the way he spoke it was clear to me that in his mind the Russians have the right to any and all spoils of war, and when it comes to art "it doesn't matter if it's in Russia because in reality it belongs to humanity". Hummm
My family worked for the Rockerfeller family for four generations *(checkable fact) The "remnants" of the "amber room" are in the US right now.. common knowledge among elite society
Maybe. But those green objects could just as easily be machines/generators or something. Still, it would be interesting to find out what exactly is hidden below. The amount of water is going to be significant, I assume. :)
The Russian director said, that all the paintings are not to return, why should the amberr room be returned then, after it would be found? That is war treasure for another country then...
He carefully added: "we won the war". In 1973 I was on a study trip to the Novgorod region, where the German Luftwaffe meticulously destroy 801 churches of that region alone. Art from German museums was only pennies in reparations for the mulitbillion damages inflicted by Germany on the USSR.
@@PeterJessenDK That could have been true. IF only Stalin hadn't banned and killed thousands of religious people. Please don't blame Germany for something that was done by your own dictator.
@@fletsepopje Germans systematically destroyed anything Russian. These churches that were bombed by Luftwaffe were rebuilt and carefully restored by the ATHEIST Soviet government. This is a fact. Germans then pursued exactly the same goals and policies as Netanyahu today before our eyes
@@PeterJessenDK The Luftwaffe never meticulously bombed churches, THAT is a fact. Nor did the soviet rebuilt and carefully restored them. And finally : neither isNetanyahu meticulously bombing churches or any other religious buildings. So basically, nothing that you wrote is true. Are you delusional ?
@@fletsepopjeNo, he is not delusional at all. There are many examples of the destruction of orthodox churches and cathedrals by the Germans, and of those churches being reconstructed. The same of palaces. I can’t confirm the number to be 801, or the characterisation of the destruction as being systematic, but it is indisputable. Of course many local churches were destroyed by the Soviets in the early years, but there is an incorrect perception that this was very widespread and that virtually all churches were destroyed. That’s just pure anti-Communist Cold War propaganda. Some monasteries remained open during the harshest periods of Soviet rule. The reality is that the finest of the churches remained in tact and were not destroyed by the Soviets, but several of these were deliberately destroyed by the Germans. You need to brush up on your history by reading credible sources.
The Soviets did return some artworks to museums in East Germany, but often you see replacements for gold artifacts that the Soviets have either kept or melted down. I understood that the Amber Room that you see here was a copy, as the original was destroyed at the end of the War. That said, the Museums on Museum Island in Berlin have been repaired and there's still a lot to see, though unfortunately the Pergamon is currently closed for renovation for quite a long time.
@@armytruth6860it is, people know where, but are not allowed into there, so how you want to get there if you don't wangt to start shooting and starting a war? Alot lays in Switserland
Your absolutely correct, they had alot of gold there and were the middle men buying material for the war. And there was alot left over after the war can't still be there so who kept that,,the bank?@@NathalieMelissa
I'd like to meet you, my grandmother told me about how they used it to get everything possible to a merchant ship heading to the US called the Epimanondie.. I'm guessing the spelling of the ship!
The amber room is either in 1 of three types of locations: Switzerland Bank Vaults (where the Germans washed their stolen gold), in a Germany owned Military location in a tunnel hidden from eyes or it has been melted down and is in some countries gold reserve.
if the amber room is under water it will be a lot of work and very expensive , dew to the fact its under water they won't be able to just drain it and remove it , once air hits it it will make things a lot worse , i seen treasure shows bringing up treasure from lakes ocean water where they put it in a water bath as soon as it hits top side
Such an understatement The biggest theft in history no one will ever know the extent of treasures and value i would guess at least ONE THOUSAND BILLION 🦅🦅⭐⭐
If you think about it this would be expected from any country that it has been or being annihilated by war when food and water becomes number one any building with a lock on it is open target unfortunately . And then the looting comes from needing something to start life back up again because it has been destroyed this is people's frame of mind It's a human thinking thought
@@j3marty320 Probably so, and not admitted to by the russian state and its museums so they can justify not giving back the stolen art they know about . Not that they admit to that of course.
there is so much in the storage rooms of museums what they have never shown to the world. was there not the big museum in russia that havent shown more then 90% of what they have in storage what was brought back after ww2
When Japan was made to hand in all the Samurai swords to the American Army hundreds went missing. Stolen and taken home as souvenirs. Some of the greatest swords ever made have never been found and are probably in some Americans attic
The monuments men took some of the recovered gold , that we do know, and the desperate Berliners looted whatever they could , you can’t blame them they were starving, this wasn’t their war .
You are wrong, it was their war, that is a ridiculous way to look at the horror the German people wrought on the world. I still believe they had the right to try to survive. Sometimes that is punishment enough.
its the bundestag, or federal parliment, the old term reichstag means parliment of the kingdom...and fell out of use in the sixties... by the time of bundeskancerler or federal chancellor helmut kohl... the end of west germany and east germany..... the federal parliment or bundestag was restored by a uk architect...in the ninetes, what you see today, is not the same as the earlier reichstag...
Interesting debate as to who owns what, the spoils of war will always create division as to the return or not to the rightful owners. Personally I could argue both ways then my brain cell would spin. Nobody is going to agree we have the Elgin marbles debate here but what about the bayeaux tapestry allegedly made in England.
Pretty much every major art collection is full of treasures that were aquired after wars and revolutions. I don't see why there'd even be an issue with these works of art in Russia. I'm sure Germany was full of Russian art looted during the Russian revolution and sold off on the cheap to dealers and museums from all over the world..
I hope that if the amber room is ever found it is not handed back until all the stolen art in russia is returned. While it is in the hands of whoever finds it and recovers it to the monuments men and the finder gets full credit. The amber room should be re built in a dedicated museum and the proceeds from visitors be used to hunt the stolen art in Russian museums and the wider community. Only when all avenues are exhausted and the art is found or proven lost to the battles should the Russians get their orange stones back. They are admitting that the art is there but they still wont give it back so this is the only way i can see that it could be recovered. All of this relies on someone, and not a russian, finds it first of course.
@ClaireWellington676 do we really? It's a typical thing for the USA to say they're more important. Reminder to know the longest serving demonetised currency sits as the sterling aka British.

I love the part 'The painting in Russia can not go to auction or the art market' forgetting there is a black market for these paintings.
Can we please get a part 2 if the room full of water is explored
People need to return those Pease.

You should tell us the story
Same with all the missing gold the Rockefeller’s have it
I think the amber room is definitely in the tunnel and I can't see why they won't knock the wall down and drain the tunnel.
Heck, id fund it for a 1% of value fee
Maybe. But those green objects could just as easily be machines/generators or something. Still, it would be interesting to find out what exactly is hidden below. The amount of water is going to be significant, I assume. :)

It gets absorbed into privit collections for the normal man never to see
The western allies also had a trophy brigade not just the Soviets !
for the Nazis to consider other peoples degenerate, they sure had a passion for their artwork
Have a look in Elsass. Between the wine cellars. It was one of the last save railroads
The funniest resisting arrest i ever seen 😂
There is a tunnel system my great grandfather sad that there is treasure there but they blasted the entrances. He said that when he died on his bed

The gold (settings, etc.) could be melted down, yes, but the amber room was built with tons of real amber, which would only be destroyed.
Maybe in the Vatican?

Gold doesn't corrode, amber doesn't degrade in water. Any wood fixings or glue aren't as relevant to the piece as a whole.
They are all hidden in my garage ,even in the inspection pit !
they have a book on the monument men

I agree
It just an exact re run from years ago.
Very interesting, but as with many documentaries, this one ignored thee fact that the Soviets and Nazis were Allie’s at the beginning of the war.
Whats that got to do with getting stabbed in the back by Germany?
your right. They the Russians got away with invading first Poland then the Baltic countries. never trust a Russian .
The Nazis were just window shopping in the palace at that time.
Well Berlin still has alot of Hitlers stolen art.
what year is this show and whats its called?
Is this the Fonz?
I reckon it was put onto a boat and the boat got sunk otherwise it would’ve been found by now

I agree the amber room is somewhere deep beneath the vatican!!
No the fake amber room is the real amber room
There was no invasion of the soviet union as such as the USSR did not exist at that time
It in the Switzerland bank account in the gold room that is why they won't let know in and they send load of gold to Portugal.
Anybody think of South America

That's all looks like cement statues 🗿 how it becomes tresure
The Amber room is at the bottom of the ocean inside of a submarine I am convinced of that😢
Obviously. In the vast cargo storage space that U boats used to transport massive loads. Which isn't true and is entirely impossible.
You are incorrect. Amber Room is on the moon, put there by Hitlers saucers….
I believe if you found that room you would not get a thing because the government would try to take it all from ya
I challenge ANYBODY to prove me wrong.. the "amber room" is currently in the US.. bought on a merchant ship called the, Epimanondie..
Yes there are pieces all over the world.. The Rockerfeller family have the rest.. *check my family service history.. go on!!!
Since you started, I challenge you to prove yourself right. Honestly.
