“The Monuments Men were not all men,” said Anna Bottinelli, president of the Monuments Men and Women Foundation. The Army recently revived the concept, with the first new class of monuments officers graduating in 2022. The Monuments Men and Women Gallery includes a recreation of a salt mine where monuments officers found stolen art. Valland, who inspired the role played by Cate Blanchett in the “The Monuments Men” movie, died at 81 in 1980. The Army’s first class of the new monuments officers, called heritage and preservation officers, graduated in the summer of 2022.

☆ The 4 most dangerous missions American troops carried out 79 years ago on D-Day
  + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Katie Sanders | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The D-Day invasion was the largest seaborne invasion in history and a turning point in World War II. By the end of the Normandy campaign, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians had been killed or wounded. The greatest risks were borne by American troops who arrived in the first wave, seized clifftop artillery, and set up balloons to defend against aerial attacks. The invasion, codenamed Operation Neptune and remembered as D-Day, sent roughly 156,000 British, Canadian, and American troops to the Nazi-occupied French coast by air and sea, beginning the multi-month Battle of Normandy and the liberation of Western Europe from Hitler's Wehrmacht. Citino described the most perilous jobs American troops performed to help make the D-Day landings a World War II turning point.
