quite the contrast to arrive at the beach of Normandy and the fighting is done
wow. sitting down worked (after assessing he doesn't speak English)
I woudln't have realized but the captions say this is Stahl. Small world.
Damn. That's the unfortunate thing about the news getting out on these discoveries. Burning the art...
Hehe. As nice as that is... he was trusted with the notebook and if they're all gone that would just... well be irresponsible
Hehe. Missing a panel.
Wow. The panel used as a table
I thought they were gonna come out to be met by Russians
I think we saw Portrait of a Young Man burned, right? [yes, in the film it was show as being burned, but in reality its fate is unknown][according to Wikipedia it is known to have survived]
I mean focusing on one piece of art when there was an entire presentation about multiple pieces saved... while technically Jeffries did die in an attempt to save the Bruges Madonna, I feel like he was technically in the spirit of the overall mission
