註釋"The former U.S. Army captain Walter I. Farmer was stationed with the American Forces in Germany after World War II. In 1945, he worked hard to protect important European and German cultural heritage artifacts, such as paintings and sculptures, from being transported to the United States. Together with other officers of the U.S. Army, who took on this task, Farmer wrote the Wiesbaden Manifesto which resulted in the artefacts remaining in Germany and they can still be seen in German museums today. In 1996, Farmer was awarded the "Grosse Bundesverdienstkreuz" for his outstanding work." "Besides being a personal account, this autobiography presents an important document of present-day history. It is completed by an extensive list of documents and archive material."-- BOOK JACKET.
