 On 5 November 1940, a directive from "Reichsmarshall" Hermann Göring to Alfred Rosenberg, the head of the ERR, and to the Chief of Military Administration in Paris outlines the several categories of "ownerless" art confiscated from Jews for "safeguarding".One of the categories were "Those art objects for the further disposition of which the Führer has reserved for himself the right of decision," while other categories were those works desired by Göring himself, those destined for German museums other than the "Führermuseum".Although the directive was intended to be effective immediately, Göring indicates that he had yet to clear it with Hitler, but intended to do so.
