Altaussee:
With many of Europe's masterpieces still missing, the Monuments Men knew that they had more work to do. Intelligence reports directed them to look into salt mines across Germany and Austria. The loot in the mine at Merkers, Germany, included art and staggering amounts of gold. And in the salt mine of Altausee, Austria, the Monuments Men found a mother lode -- Hitler's personal collection of stolen art. |
