Hitler’s Horses by Arthur Brand, review — the ‘Indiana Jones

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s German horse cavalry and transport. Intelligence Bulletin, March 1946. In 1957, for instance, Breker was commissioned to make a sculpture installed outside the Wilhelm-Dörpfeld-Gymnasium, a school in Wuppertal. The result was a larger than life bronze of Pallas Athene, the Greek goddess of war and wisdom, helmeted and poised to throw a spear. “The iconography is just the same as that of the Nazi era,” says the exhibition’s curator, Wolfgang Brauneis. Josef Thorak was born in Vienna on February 7, 1889 and attended the Vienna Art Academy, eventuallymoving on to the Berlin Art Academy in 1915. After his studies he established himself as a sculptor of monumental works such as the 4-meter-high (13-foot)gable figure for the Reichsbank building in the western German city of Buer.

ISBN 0-521-63760-0, ISBN 978-0-521-63760-2It is as if the dismal dialectic set up by Goebbels in Munich in 1937 – on the one hand heroic, neoclassical German art sanctioned by the Nazis, and on the other modern art made by Jews and “degenerate” foreigners that often ended up being burned by Nazi functionaries – was still playing out in the first decades of West Germany’s existence. From 1937 onward, Thorak became one of the preferred sculptors of the Nazis, commissioned to create countless propaganda sculptures emphasizing the supposed strength and glory of theregime. After the war, Breker’s status as image maker for the Nazis, one might have thought, would have made him persona non grata in the new German republic. On the contrary, he benefited from an old boys’ network of Nazis: his Pallas Athene in Wuppertal was made possible by the intercession of fellow “divinely gifted” architect Friedrich Hetzelt.

Yet for some reason Brand – or possibly his editor – felt the need to ramp up the tension by constantly emphasising the danger he was in, and the ruthlessness of the people he was dealing with. Neither claims are particularly convincing. Chapters end on cliffhangers more typical of pulp fiction. Brand is described as the art world’s answer to Indiana Jones. Yet his naive and, at times, blundering attempts to navigate the dark world of German neo-Nazis are more reminiscent of Inspector Clouseau. Like the occasion when, having climbed a tree to try to spot the horses in the garden of a wealthy German industrialist, he lost his grip and tumbled to the ground.Now the sculptures will be shown again for the first time in the Spandau Citadel. One of the horses has been on display there for some time, and the second one is now being unveiled and examined by restorers. There is not much left of the Reich Chancellery, which featured very prominently in Nazi propaganda,” said Stephan Klingen, an art historian at the Central Institute for Art History in Munich. “These horses belong in a museum, not in the cellar of a private collector. It is better that we can see them.”
