Dear David,
Another fact underlining a shared understanding on cultural heritage between Greece and Germany: The Pfahlbaumuseum in Uhldingen will be returning 10.600 fragments to Greece which were illegally excavated by the Nazi troops in 1941 and subsequently transferred to Germany. The fragments are soon expected to be transferred (initially) to the National Archeological Museum in Athens.
