The Monuments Men told the story of a group trying to save art and other relics from HItler during WW2. How true is their story?
The Big Picture When a history book story gets turned into a movie, we usually expect some changes from the original. But sometimes, the story shown on the big screen strays quite a bit from the real deal. George Clooney's film, The Monuments Men, gives us a heartwarming tale of American heroes outsmarting Hitler, but the actual history is more intricate.
The Monuments Men worked tirelessly to track down and recover stolen art, often facing dangerous conditions. They raced against time to beat the Nazis to the art before it could be destroyed or hidden away. The issuance of the 1945 Nero Decree Ordered by Adolf Hitler was also correct, as stated by The Smithsonian Magazine, but it was officially titled the "Demolitions on Reich Territory Decree.
What Did 'The Monuments Men' Miss? According to US News, the Monuments Men, known as the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program was a much larger group, consisting of 350 men and women from 13 nations who worked to protect art and cultural artifacts during World War II. Among them were many women such as Capt. Edith Standen and Ardelia Hall, worked tirelessly to promote restitution of looted art to rightful owners.
