Eduard Plietzsch was an art historian and specialist in Dutch paintings and member of the Dienststelle Mühlmann in Holland. He served as a consultant for Dutch and Flemish paintings for the Göring collection as well as buyer and advisor to Seyss-Inquart.
On 29 June 1944, Franz Rademacher wrote to Eduard Plietzsch about a painting he had acquired from Cornelius Postma, Pieter Paul Ruben's Paysage par un temps d'orage (Schloss German no. 771/ French no. 220), and wondered if it was authentic. Plietzsch later confirmed its authenticity.
