At the end of the war, Göring's personal collection included 1,375 paintings, many sculptures, carpets, furniture and other artifacts.

Jahn became the Art Consultant to the German Embassy in Vienna in 1937, where he would then search for, purchase, and collect individual pieces of Hitler's art, allegedly in order to destroy a majority of the paintings. Jahn sold one of the largest collections of Hitler's art, about 18 pieces, with an average selling price of $50,000. [13]
