You go to Germany, You won’t see a single nazi monument except for the rubble of camps. No need to have monuments. Put it in the books and that’s it

⬆⬆Note how the stars didn't KILL one another (they are all still there individually, but unified together over the same stripes of red and white)

Just because thousands of years have not passed by, doesn't mean people can't appreciate certain aspects of historical military people.

You can erase history by destroying a structure or a statue

The German s done mass Murder. Not a fight between brothers. All side should be remembered. In statues people should learn about them. Also remember slavery started in Africa. Why don't people blame them countries in Africa?
