Synopsis
In 1974, an auction takes place in Munich: items labelled "former property of Hermann Göring" are sold to benefit the post-war state. The documentary criticizes the fact that Bavaria, as the official inheritor of Göring's property, allowed a number of valuables decorated with Nazi symbols to be sold by an art auction house, earning a total of 641,590 Deutsche marks.
