Various shots justices looking thru books - only closest Justice Robert Falco, France seen as Storey continues describing evidence. Defendants in dock in background; including Goering, Hess, Rosenberg (?) Statement continues. MS of judges. 02:39:02 MS defendants in dock as Storey explains chart re control of German civilians by Nazis, Hitler Youth and other groups. 02:39:42 Rear view of Storey speaking, “the extraordinary artistic & material value of the seized art works cannot be expressed in figures; and there are objects of such unique character that their valuation is entirely impossible. These 39 volumes are by no means a complete catalogue, they present at most pictures of about 2,500 of the art objects seized. And I ask you to imagine that this catalog had been completed & in the place of 39 volumes we had 350 to 400 volumes... (testimony continues - quotes message written to Hitler about the Nazis’ cataloging of seizure). 02:42:58 Courtroom darkened, screen used to display charts but not shown. 02:43:05 Storey continues: “I call your attention again that the pictures you have just seen are representative of a large number of similar items illustrated in the 39 volume catalog which in itself is only partially complete. 02:43:25 - 02:45:25 has camera problems. HOWEVER sound is usable. Post-WW2; Nazi Trials; 1940s;
