quotation
The art dealer Walter Andreas Hofer began advising Göring on his art collection in 1937. From 1939 to 1944, he acted as "Director of the Reichsmarschall's Art Collection." After the war, a French military tribunal sentenced him in absentia to ten years in prison. However, he never served the sentence and continued to work undisturbed as an art dealer in Munich.
