In 1980, two priceless Cranach paintings disappeared from a small-town church in East Germany. The thieves left lots of evidence in the town of Klieken, but none of the clues lead to the arrest of the culprits. The investigations were quickly taken over by the infamous Stasi secret service. Was the East Berlin department of arts & antiquities involved? Or was it just a mundane act of vandalism?
