Overview
During WWII, Nazis lead by Adolf Hitler's ambition of pursuing his denied art career at Vienna Academy Of Fine Arts, sought out private collections and museum collections of pieces of art and stole them. Hundreds of thousands of famous pieces of art were looted and stockpiled in unknown locations. After Hitler became the Fuhrer, he made plans to build a huge art museum in his hometown of Linz, Austria called the Führermuseum. It was supposedly going to have most of the worlds most famous art pieces.
