... that Austrian historian Dagobert Frey had led the Gestapo in a mass looting campaign from the Warsaw and Kraków museums and national art galleries during the Nazi German occupation of Poland?

Article is new enough and long enough and reference checks out. The one thing I would say is that saying that he "had led" is not correct English as there's no need for past perfect in this case. "Dagobert Frey led the Gestapo...." would be sufficient. Valenciano (talk) 15:49, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, Valenciano. I agree, the past perfect isn't needed. Poeticbent talk 18:07, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
