Lot 606 | "The Monument Men",
Army Service Forces Manual M 356-17 "GEHEIM". Handbuch für Deutschlands Kirchen, Museen, Bibliotheken und andere kulturelle Institutionen. August 1944. Das Buch aus dem ehemaligen Besitz von Milton Bubincam (1909-1997). Auf 130 Seiten finden sich die Auflistungen aller bedeutender kultureller Standorte und deren darin möglichen Kulturschätze. Aufgrund des unhandlichen Breitformat wurde das Handbuch in der Mitte gefaltet und somit stark gebraucht. Die Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Section (MFA&A, auch MFAA) war eine Abteilung der US Army zum Schutz des Kunstguts während und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Sie bestand von 1943 bis 1946 und war den Civil Affairs and Military Government Sections unterstellt. Die dort tätigen Kunstschutzoffiziere wurden als Monuments Men bezeichnet.
