The Monuments Men is one of my favorite films. I so admire them and it was fascinating. I'd love to read the book. To actually be at the mine, to visit, to see it up close would be fascinating. I would love that experience and I am so grateful that you shared it with us.

The film is great. I presume the book is more realistic. It was an amazing experience to see the mine, and it was so nicely done. Fascinating story. At the end of the tour we reached a subterranean salt lake. In the middle of the lake is a podium from where musical performances used to be had. Not anymore, due to narrow emergency routes. We were treated with a musical piece by an Austrian composer. It was amazing.
