This assignment was with The Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives Program that was created during World War 2 to save the valuable works of art and cultural monuments that were in danger of being stolen or destroyed.Adolf Hitler had an evil plan to steal most of the worlds valuable art work and place the pieces he liked on exhibit in his Nazi Museum.
