GEORGE EBERT was a member of the NSDAP “Aussenpolitisches Amt” (“Foreign Policy Office”), or APA, administered by Rosenberg. During the occupation of Paris, Ebert discovered a deserted Masonic temple and guarded it against looters, so that its library and museum collections could be turned over to German officials. This acquisition gave rise to the “Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg” (“Reichsleiter Rosenberg Task Force”), which stole cultural property from occupied nations on a massive scale during World War II.
