Footnotes

{1}Return to text In September 1944, soon after United States troops had crossed the German border, the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) promulgated this law, enabling the allies to take the action envisaged in the London Declaration of January 5, 1943. Law 52 made all property in Germany subject to seizure and management by the military government. It covered not only property owned or controlled by the German government but also the property of organizations and clubs dissolved by military government, property of the governments and citizens of the United Nations, absentee owners, including the governments and citizens of the United Nations. The law prohibited transactions in cultural materials of value or importance regardless of ownership and in property owned or controlled by religious, educational, cultural, and scientific institutions. Everyone having custody of property covered by the law was ordered to hold it subject to the direction of military government and to accept certain responsibilities for custody, preservation, and keeping of records. Law 52 thus was the foundation of "Property Control."
