Was it just the headstone, or is there actually an ancient Roman body buried under that? 🤔

The sub heading says it was missing from an Italian museum so my guess is it was probably looted and brought over (I admit I was too lazy to read further!).
Next week on ‘My neighbour’s a Nazi’’ …

Eh, GIs did some looting and pillaging even in France and the Netherlands, much less Germany and Italy.

It was a joke rather about potentially finding you had a secrect Nazi neighbour than a reference to real happenings! You’d have to be pretty determined to lug a great price of rock about with you if you were on the run!
I did see another article today saying it was a soldier, but not a German, who brought it to the US. So your comment appears to be in line with what happened here.
