The editorial board asked several experts from different countries to express their point of view concerning the law. We particularly want to thank these authors for their readiness to contribute to this special topic. The international discussion we are able to present is very interesting and to our knowledge unique. As you will realize, this issue is the most extensive newsletter until now. This does not mean, however, that we want to grow bigger every time. The extent of this issue is due to the fact that in 1997 there will only be one issue of "Spoils of War". The editorial office - the Coordination Office of the Federal States for the Return of Cultural Property - will move from Bremen to Magdeburg at the end of this year. Therefore it is not possible to keep our usual publishing rhythm of July/December. The next issue of "Spoils of War" will appear in March 1998. We will inform all our readers in time about the new editorial address. The text of "Spoils of War" No. 4 - like all issues published until now - is available on internet (http://www.dhh-3.de/looted/). Please note that the editorial center can now be contacted by e-mail (E-mail: KSTdLfdRvK@aol.com). "Spoils of War" is distributed without subscription costs, because it is the policy of the editorial board to make sure that everybody who is interested is able to get a copy of this newsletter. We would be, however, very grateful to those of our readers who in return can provide the editorial center with a copy of their books, articles or other published material which might be of interest to us. We are glad that our newsletter is going already into its third year. The interest in it and the still growing distribution list prove the importance and helpfulness of this publication, which is the only one on World War II losses. We want to stress once more that this publication would not be possible without your information, critical remarks, contributions and comments. Please don't stop supporting us in this way. Yours sincerely
