I find this time period in art history very interesting. What countries did to protect their art, the stolen art and how much was destroyed.

And much, like the famous 'Amber Room' still unaccounted for. I hate those who either steal the past for their personal gain or self-esteem, or destroy it for some ideology. How many great paintings or archeological wonders are hidden away never to be seen again in someone's personal collection, or have been flat out destroyed out of sheer ignorance? Too many I'm afraid.
