War memorial at Dammtordamm

4 macedonboy - 2 years ago

This monument stands in tribute to the 76th Infantry Regiment that fought in World War One. As other reviewers have mentioned, it was raised by Nazi Germany as propaganda in the build up to war, but was saved from demolition after the Second World War after it was rededicated to all soldiers who died in the Second World War.

The monument features a concrete block. All around the block are relief sculptures of soldiers marching one after another almost as a futile gesture of endless wars.

(Translated by Google) Tens of thousands of young Hamburgers lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. Even in its original form, it does not glorify war. This is a left-wing legend that is often brought forward by people who had nothing against the crimes and show trials in communism, who are blind to what is happening in Cuba, Venezuela or Nicaragua today.

(Original)
Im ersten und zweiten Weltkrieg haben zigtausende junge Hamburger ihr Leben verloren. Selbst in der Urform verherrlicht es nicht den Krieg. Das ist eine linke Legende, die gern von Menschen vorgebracht wird, die nichts gegen die Verbrechen und Schauprozesse im Kommunismus hatten, die heute blind sind was in Kuba, Venezuela oder Nicaragua passiert.

(Translated by Google) Without a critical classification in the historical context of national (social) ism, the monument as such simply glorifies war and is more than out of place in this place. The monument as a historical source is definitely worth preserving. However, it belongs in a museum.

(Original)
Ohne kritische Einordnung in den historischen Kontext des National(sozial)ismus ist das Denkmal als solches schlicht kriegsverherrlichend und an diesem Ort mehr als fehl am Platze. Das Denkmal als historische Quelle ist durchaus erhaltenswert. Jedoch gehört es in ein Museum.
