Secret in the Mountain

Secret in the Mountain is a 2019 Austro-German television movie directed by Gabriela Zerhau and is set in the final days of the Second World War. The Allies are closing in, but the National Socialists still rule in Altaussee. Looted art is stored in the Altaussee salt mine for the planned Führer Museum in Linz. Strictly guarded by soldiers, the inhabitants drag paintings into the tunnel. Among them are Sepp, who stays out of everything, and his friend Franz, who hides deserters in the mountains with his wife Elsa. Before the Allies approach, Gauleiter Eigruber wants to have the mine blown up. The works of art would be lost, the mine destroyed, but the village rebels.
The 2014 American movie The Monuments Men directed by George Clooney includes the rescue mission from another perspective.
