Add a CommentHitler's early attempts to be an artist, as well as Goering's massive appetite for art, are fascinating insights into the Nazis - and humans. As much as I dislike Hitler, I don't think he was such a bad artist. He had some talent. Pity he wasn't accepted into Vienna's Academy of Art. History might have been so different.
A++ All the way….A must have DVD in all Libraries - worth the long library wait and WORTH the cost of owing! I would recommend this movie for all to see.
This film game me a greater understanding of the scope of the devastation that Nazi Germany thrust upon Europe and Eastern Asia. I find it much easier to grasp the concept of the tens of millions of people dead within the framework of the art and culture destroyed, stolen and lost. 60 years after the war, works are still being found and are still surfacing from private collectors. I wish we had the 3 disc set!
interesting. perhaps too 'rah rah' for the u.s. military in the last half hour of the film. they weren't without fault though this is quickly glossed over. i'm sure there are many hidden treasures yet to be found in the u.s.a.
Although it is well known that art was stolen by (mostly) Germans during WW2, this subject has never really been covered or explored in any depth...until now. Very, very interesting.
Compelling and powerful; the film sheds light on an overlooked aspect of World War Two
