Thanks to this honest and dedicated men and women most of this stolen art works can now be enjoyed by future generation. Those that ordered the destruction of ancient monuments and heritage of not only by families but by countries museum of arts and civilians who lost not only this artwork but also their lives.

EVEN TODAY, NOTHING HAS CHANGED

I'd like to point out to Ian the Scottish historian that Monte Cassino abbey only became a military position once the Allies had destroyed it. General Albert Kesselring the man in charge of Axis troops in Italy at the time was a practicing Catholic and had felt uneasy about using it for military purposes prior to the Allies reducing it to a mass of rubble. Moreover and this might sound pedantic but the Herman Goering Divison was a parachute regiment and not an SS unit ... Goering was after all head of the Luftwaffe.

For the Netherlands there was a section of about 14 people. Mist of them recruited during the Liberation. But a few started from day one, or got dropped in occupied Europe to obtain information. They managed to secure and save some international art. I remember this nobleman professor doctor Roell or something, ex militair. He got a dozen of medals from many countries for saving their art.
Belgium also had its own section. I'm not sure about other countries. Since the Eastern Front is a different story and Scandinavia didn't really got liberated in the fighting way.

The Hermann Goering Division was NOT an SS division - it was a Luftwaffe unit! A strange Luftwaffe Panzer Division eventually, but a start on Goering's own private army!

Did The Monument men check out painting that had art underneath, sad art was burn and love the Movie and this video was very educational, Who ever is the 2023 Monument men good luck.
