Two life-size bronze horses commissioned to stand outside Adolf Hitler's chancellery disappeared
from their last known location in Germany in 1989.
Triumphant Russian forces reportedly moved the horses in 1945 before they appeared on the
sports grounds of a Red Army barracks in Eberswalde of the German Democratic Republic in
1950. They remained there for 38 years until a newspaper article by an art historian turned
the spotlight back on the illustrious works. They soon disappeared. The art historian says an
acquaintance of a GDP financier recently offered her information about the sculptures, which
were rumored to have been sold by the cash-strapped GDR.
