Anecdotes
The "Monuments Men" were a group of approximately 345 men and women from thirteen nations, most of whom volunteered for service in the newly created MFAA section during World War II. Many had expertise as museum directors, curators, art historians, artists, architects, and educators. Their job description was simple: to protect cultural treasures so far as war allowed.

Gaffes
When Lt. James Granger flies over Paris in the biplane in the evening, the Eiffel Tower is illuminated. However, the lighting of the Tower and its illumination system date from no earlier than 1985. Originally the Eiffel Tower's lighting spelled out the French Car brand 'Citroen' vertically.

Citations
Frank Stokes: I think you should know the truth as I see it. This mission is never designed to succeed. If they were honest, they would tell us that. They'd tell us that with this many people dying, who cares about art. They're wrong. Because that's exactly what we're fighting for. For our culture and for our way of life. You can wipe out a generation of people. You can burn their homes to the ground and somehow they'll still come back. But if you destroy their achievements and their history then it's like they never existed. Just ash floating. That's what Adolf Hitler wants. And it's the one thing we simply can't allow.

Crédits fous
At the beginning of the end credits there are black and white photos of the real Monuments Men with some of the art they saved.

Loved the Monuments Men

I know this movie received mixed reviews, but I thought it was excellent. With so many disappointing movies lately I was pleasantly surprised that Monuments Men really delivered. I had never heard this story before and I was impressed at how it was presented. The actors were perfect for their roles and it left me feeling proud of what these men were able to accomplish.

One thing that really struck home with me was seeing the beaches at Normandy. My uncle actually landed in the first wave, lost most of his battalion and was wounded. He never spoke about it but I know he carried the scars throughout his life.
