The Monuments Men

[Horace Debussy Jones]

I have yet to see the movie, but the story is quite fascinating to me given my lifelong passion for great art, both it's creation and it's preservation. Here are a few real photos that somewhat document events of the time. It's interesting to note that the Da Vinci masterpiece, "The Last Supper" was almost destroyed by an allied bomb! http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2013/05/14/monuments-men-the-crafty-artist-warriors-of-world-war-ii-photos.html#d095e203-00ba-4cac-a1f8-1b4bc3a8fba7
