<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orielensis, post: 8286124, member: 96898&quot;]I also assume that Kolbe&amp;Fanning are mistaken here, probably because of the identical name. Apart from the different dates of birth, I assume that it would be mentioned in Karl Kress&#039; interrogation report had he also run a mid-scale publishing house in Munich and owned a numismatic auction house in the 1930s/40s.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if they had been the same person, Karl Kress would have built his Munich publishing house while still serving in the Weimar Republic army (1918–1930) and working as a photographer at Kassel (1931–1939). During WW2, he would have been in the army and looted art for the Nazis all around Europe, run the publishing house, and organized a total of nine major numismatic auctions between 1939 and 1943. That appears to be far too much activity for a single person...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
