    Lohse had been handed over to the French and spent two years in a Paris jail. Following a brief trial in 1950, he managed to return to Germany, where he was first confined to the French zone in Baden-Württemberg and then settled in Munich. Because Lohse did not go through denazification, he was not licensed to work as an art dealer; he therefore described himself as an art “adviser.” (English)

    Car le coffre n°5, loué en 1978 par Bruno Lohse, célèbre historien d'art allemand, mort en mars à Munich, à l'âge de 95 ans, n'abrite rien d'autre qu'un butin de guerre. "Voleur en chef" du maréchal du IIIe Reich, Hermann Göring, qui avait une confiance absolue en ses goûts et connaissances, Lohse eut en effet pour mission pendant la seconde guerre mondiale d'enrichir le patrimoine artistique du bras droit d'Hitler en dépeçant, en particulier en France où la Galerie du Jeu de paume était son repère, les collections privées de familles juives.
