Robert C. Glass served as an MFAA officer for a military government detachment assigned to Bonn, Germany, and assisted Monuments Man Captain Everett P. Lesley Jr., MFAA specialist officer for Fifteenth US Army. One of their first assignments was the relocation of objects from a copper mine in Siegen. On May 9, 1945, Monuments Man Lieutenant George L. Stout decided that atmospheric and security conditions at the repository made the immediate movement of the objects imperative. After much deliberation, Bonn was deemed the most suitable choice. Glass and Lesley were charged with surveying the available bunkers on the outskirts of town. They ultimately selected a four-story bunker equipped with air conditioning, electricity, and lighting. With only two entrances, both steel doors, it proved to be the ideal shelter for displaced works of art and other cultural objects. Glass and Lesley also interviewed individuals suspected of criminal involvement in the Nazi theft.
