    quotation
    In May 1938, Behrens’ banking firm was ‘aryanised’ and in November of that year, he was arrested and detained until December in the concentration camp in Sachsenhausen. On his release, Behrens tried to emigrate. In order to obtain an exit visa, he was forced to pawn all his possessions to the State. In April 1939, Behrens fled to Belgium, before reaching Cuba in 1940. The painting by Corot remained in Hamburg. The Committee has not been able to ascertain how Behrens lost possession of the painting. The applicants claim that it was sold in the period between October 1939 and April 1942. They consider the painting to be one of the ‘verfolgungsbedingt entzogener Kunstgegenstände’ (works of art confiscated in relation to the persecution) of Behrens. They also associate the loss of these works with persecution by the national socialists and his intended flight from Germany. The investigation uncovered no information concerning the sale of the painting. However, it did uncover that, in September 1941, the painting was in the possession of the German art dealer, H.W. Lange.Correspondence found in the archives of the Kröller-Müller Museum shows that the museum bought the currently claimed painting from H.W. Lange in June 1942. Lange had offered the painting to the museum at the behest of Kajetan Mühlmann, head of the German looting body Dienststelle Mühlmann (English)
