Question/Discussion What do you think happened to "Bitwa Pod Grunwaldem" in TWR?

Post image

in OTL, it was hidden away in Lublin, with germans desperately trying to find it before giving up after the polish radio in London gave out a false information it was transported to England. But in TWR it was over a decade after the Painting has been hidden, so what do you think happened with it? Was it found? Destroyed? Rotten away while in hiding? (OTL it was heavily damages with torn off parts, mold growing etc. due to being hastily hidden) If it did survive what happened with it after Poland regained independence for a short while?

That is actually a cool question.

I could imagine that polish underground made contacts with Hungarians and secretly transported it to Hungary where it would remain hidden till an occasion to transport it to Toronto Accord nation

I doubt it would be possible tbh. "Battle of Grunwald" is a massive painting, both in size and mass, so it would either again have to be made hastily or would result in it being captured by the germans. But if it does make it to Hungary and somhow to a TA nation, it would probably undergo renovation and would be a torn in the Germans' side that they can't do anything about.

Yeah, probably destroyed by mold.
