I wonder about "Nazi works of art." What I think of first is propaganda, and stuff glorifying the perfection of the Aryan human form. Is there some that's worth preserving? Wikipedia has an article titled Art of the Third Reich that's quite interesting.

I was stationed in Berlin for 20 months, 1972-73. The city had days when residents could put out junk for pickup, stuff that didn't fit in garbage cans. We Americans enjoyed going out junking, looking for treasures the Germans had thrown away. One think I found was a grandfather clock with a swastika on the face. It had a severe, Germanic style to it, but I kinda liked it. I wanted to take it home, but my ex-wife talked me out of it. It would have been an interesting thing to have, I think.
