What The Monuments Men Pulled Out of the Altaussee Salt Mine in 1945

Описание: During the final days of World War II, deep inside Austria’s Altaussee Salt Mine, Allied forces uncovered one of the greatest hidden treasure vaults in history. The Nazis had packed the mine with stolen masterpieces, priceless artifacts, religious treasures, and cultural relics taken from across Europe — many of them intended for Hitler’s planned Führermuseum. In this video, we explore what the Monuments Men discovered beneath the mountain in 1945, why the Nazis tried to hide it there, and how close some of the world’s most valuable art came to being destroyed forever.
