Siegen:
While surveying bomb damage in Aachen, Germany, Monuments Man Walker Hancock learned that the treasures of Aachen Cathedral had been moved to the mining town of Siegen. Hancock and Stout proceeded to Siegen, behind enemy lines, with artillery shells going off around them. There, in a mine, they discovered the Aachen Cathedral treasures, which included paintings by Rembrandt and Rubens, a bust of Charlemagne, and the Virgin Mary's robe. |
