... that in 1945 the US Army confiscated the Hotel Rose in Wiesbaden, which is now the Hessian State Chancellery?

Thanks for your edits to the article Swpb. The "440" figure is from current web source so I've used "As of 2023". I deleted the "costly" as I couldn't find a precise value. Mike Turnbull (talk) 15:22, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
