Göpel noted to Voss the difficulties “increase ad infinitum due to the overlap of responsibilities among German agencies and French slowness, all that combined with a lack of material.” “If I could get support, I could get the transport up and running this week.” Göpel tried to solve the question of frames at a relatively low price. In that regard, he received help from Mr. Holzapfel-Ward. Mr. Holzapfel-Ward donated two frames to the Sonderauftrag: an ebony frame for the Leyden Madonna and “a very beautiful Louis frame for the winter landscape by Jacob Ruysdael, the light gold appearing almost tinted.” Lastly, according to Göpel, 14 Schloss pictures received frames.
