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. Focusing on the eleven-month period between D-Day and V-E Day, this fascinating account follows six Monuments Men and their impossible mission to save the world's great art from the Nazis. 610 20 $a Allied Forces. $b Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives Section $b Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives Section $x History. 650 0 $a Art thefts $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Confiscations and contributions $z Germany. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $v Art and the war. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Destruction and pillage $z Europe. 650 0 $a Art treasures in war $z Europe $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cultural property $x History $z Europe $x History $y 20th century. 700 1 $a Witter, Bret, $e author. 830 0 $a Historia y cultura. 941 $a 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202085350.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3D2D856AB7211E4A1AC46C0DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
