The paintings were never
intended for public display.
For the most part, the can-
vasses are too large — some
are more than nine-feet tall
— or too damaged. Many
are also politically sensi-
tive; such as heroic portraits
of the Nazi leadership in full
uniform or canvasses de-
picting Nazi party rallies.
But, after receiving re-
quests from students in-
terested in Nazi prop-
aganda techniques, as
well as art historians and
World War II veterans
wanting to see the paint-
ings, the Army agreed to
put some of the paintings
in Pueblo on display by
propping them up
against the warehouse
walls.
More than 100 visitors,
including high school and
university groups saw the
paintings last year. Small,
hand-lettered signs lean
against the canvasses, iden-
tifying the title and artist,
and a three-page mimeog-
raphed sheet explaining the
history of the collection is
furnished to visitors.
