Any historians out there want to explain why it was so heavily fortified?
I’m not a historian but it’s a work of art. The film ‘Monuments Men’ was based on true events of rescuing art & artifacts from being destroyed during the war. I find it amazing what some people consider more valuable than human life but that’s for a different forum.
That was a great movie. Shed a completely different light on the war. We only hear about the human side of thing, not necessarily the “stuff” side of things.
