As Hitler was wanting to conquer the Western world, his armies were methodically pillaging the best possible art in European countries, from Michelangelos to Vermeers, all taken for the Führer. The Monuments Men acquired a mandate from President Roosevelt to find these artworks, but no vehicles, typewriters, or expert. In a contest against time to save the world's greatest ethnical treasures from destruction as a result of Nazi fans, each man built his own treasure map.

These improbable heroes, generally middle-aged family men, walked away from successful careers in to the epicentre of the conflict. This is their story.
