Tausch 17. ERR exchange with Jan Dik, Amsterdam (for Goering). According to a postwar statement made by Bruno Lohse to Allied interrogators, this transaction was strictly private between Kurt von Behr and the dealer Jan Dik, Jr of Amsterdam, who had come to Paris to offer to sell a group of paintings to Goering. Dik was accompanied by Mr. Modrezewski, a Polish-born German citizen living in Amsterdam, heavily implicated in recycling of looted art.
