[edit]- ... that in May 1936, on orders of the Nazis, Expressionist artworks were burnt in the furnace of the Kronprinzenpalais, which housed the modern art division of the Berlin National Gallery?
- Comment: There are 2 previously existing paragraphs on the topic in National Gallery (Berlin), by my count 1,476 characters, so technically this is an expansion.

Dates and lengths all good. Based upon snippets from Google books and online translation tools was able to confirm all hook facts. AGF of close paraphrasing due to limited access to online sources and need to use online translation for much of the verification process. --Allen3 talk 09:52, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
