OHIOAN GRABS NAZI CACHE!
On Monday 14 May, 1945 the Cincinnati (Ohio) Enquirer carried the following:
MIDDLETOWN MAJOR FINDS ART TREASURES VALUED AT MORE THAN $500,000,000
“Alt Aussee, Austria, May 13 (INS)-The richest single Nazi cache of looted art treasures-valued at more than $500,000,000-was taken today by an American task force under Major Ralph E. Pearson, Middletown, Ohio.
The irreplacable works of art were found in an Alpine salt mine near Alt Aussee. This was only a short distance from the mountain stronghold where Ernst Kaltenbrunner, infamous Gestapo chieftain is holding out with 150 of his men.
The entire collection of the famed Monte Cassino Abbey was found safe in the salt mine. This inestimably valuable treasure was cased and marked for “Reichsmarshal Goering.” Dr. Tomos Wilhelm Michel, Director of the Vienna Museum said.
This cache of art works makes all other findings nothing more than a drop in the bucket. This was the Nazis' main store house for their loot. Conservatively, this collection is worth more than $500,000,000 but money wouldn't buy most of this art.”
