"The Nazis expelled all residents from the city before systematically looting it. Dr Smidt van Gelder, director of the children’s hospital in Arnhem, had sent 14 of his paintings for safekeeping in a bank, and his family hid another three underneath paving slabs.The pavement hiding place proved more successful than the bank, which was ransacked on the orders of Helmut Temmler, a former Hitler Youth leader and head of District Commando Düsseldorf. Temmler, who was given command of a quarter of Arnhem, was so brazen that Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and architect of the Holocaust, described the bank raid as “shameless”.The fate of the painting after the bank robbery has emerged after years of detective work by Ms Webber, who had to work backwards from the painting’s arrival at Mansion House as part of the Harold Samuel Collection.Samuel bought the painting from the reputable London art dealer Edward Speelman who in turn received it from J William Middendorf, an American diplomat whose career included being secretary of the navy, US ambassador to the Netherlands and US ambassador to the European Union.Mr Middendorf, who is still alive, told Ms Webber that he bought it in about 1967 from Gallery Meissner in Zurich, but there the trail appeared to go cold."
