USED THE MONUMENTS MEN

Description

“The Monuments Men – Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves, and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History” by Robert M. Edsel. Softcover.

The Fuehrer had begun cataloguing the art he planned to collect as well as the art he would destroy: “degenerate” works he despised. In a race against time, behind enemy lines, often unarmed, a special force of American and British museum directors, curators, art historians, and others, called the Monuments Men, risked their lives scouring Europe to prevent the destruction of thousands of years of culture.
