Third Reich Sculptures Missing since Soviet Withdrawal in 1989 Surface again


German Police raid five locations to recover Nazi art including large bronzes by Josef Thorak from the Reichskanzlei:  Konstantin von Hammerstein, 'Bronzepferde von Josef Thorak: Fahnder finden verschollene Nazi-Kunst', Spiegel 20th may 2015 (see here too)
"Einige der Skulpturen werden seit etwa zwei Jahren auf dem grauen Kunstmarkt angeboten". 
But it was not until some investigators including Arthur Brand found out about it did they surface. So how many other art objects and antiquities are being peddled about that we do not learn of until many years later?
