During World War II, an unlikely team of soldiers was charged with identifying and protecting European cultural sites, monuments, and buildings from Allied bombing. They quickly became known as The Monuments Men.

Towards the end of the war, the Monuments Men uncovered troves of stolen art hidden across Germany and Austria, some in castles, others in salt mines. They rescued some of history’s greatest works of art. |
