Answer
You also might try also a google search under Art + POW and then refine the search (search within the findings -- at the bottom of the page) to German, or just start out with Art + German P.O.W. (and also spell it out)

http://www.google.com

I've also seen good results from http://www.dogpile.com

also look around on the Defense Department (DOD) site for "art" links (but those would probably be by Americans)
