Dutch art sleuth helps track sculptures crafted for Hitler

A Dutch art sleuth best known for identifying works looted from Jewish owners by the Nazis says he has helped German police recover two massive bronze horse sculptures crafted for Adolf Hitler.

The discovery came as more details emerged about a trove of Nazi-era art seized by authorities this week.

Arthur Brand provided tips to German detectives who made the discovery in a series of co-ordinated raids, capping a long investigation into illegal art trafficking.
