Four men standing in the throne room of Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, circa 1945
The castle was remote, the terrain was rugged, and winter was severe. Logistics were difficult, and packing supplies and personnel scarce. The soldiers assigned to assist Rorimer had never worked as art handlers and had to be trained on the job. Packing, crating, moving, and transport required intense physical labor and much improvisation. |
