@cketti ah yes, not surprising there is one in Berlin. so the capitals that were occupied by the four allies got them, I guess.

@cketti that might be a little different since the DDR was quasi-Soviet, or at least strongly aligned. Austria got forced neutrality rather than East or West alignment

@eighthave The Wikipedia page on the one in vienna mentions they planned the monument before even entering the city. Seems like making sure people don't forget who defeated the nazis was not an afterthought.

@cketti I bike by the Vienna one weekly, and it makes me thankful, even though it is complicated. The Soviets were pretty rough as occupiers, my family feared the Soviet soldiers, and they were Social Democrats!
