Abstract	It was World War II and the legendary Amber Room, looted from a Russian palace, was being shipped back to German territory. When the convoy came under fire, a German soldier took advantage of the confusion to purloin a piece for himself. Now the gold-framed mosaic of marble and semi-precious stones may be the only part of the 18th-century treasure to have survived.
