Reenacted scene: packing paintings under Wehrmacht supervision

In a bare room with brick walls, two workers in overalls pack framed paintings, including a portrait and a landscape, into a large wooden crate, while a Wehrmacht soldier with a steel helmet and pistol holster stands watching. According to the film's own description this is a reenacted scene illustrating Nazi art looting and the shipment of paintings to Switzerland, staged for the production rather than authentic documentary footage.
