A fabulous $60,000,000 as- sortm ent of French goods, ranging from kitchen crockery to old m as- ters, which the G erm ans seized d u r ing their occupation, has been re covered, mostly through clever work by F rench resistance forces as the Nuzis were being driven out. Although the G erm ans tried to prevent recovery of their loot, even distributing som e of it to the F rench public, a large am ount of valuables was saved through the sabotaging of enem y trucks. Suburban q u arries, which served as dum ps for thousands of seized tires, and num erous w arehhouses also have yielded a g reat hoard of loot.
