The examining Commission also included Martin Bormann's secretary, Dr von Hummel, and the Director of the Bavarian Painting Collections, Dr Ernst Buchner. The latter reaped some benefit from his association with the Commission for he was permitted to deposit paintings from the famous Munich Schack Galerie in the Altaussee mine
