Does anyone know of any monuments to foreign armies that occupied the place where the monument is? I've always been fascinated by the giant #monument to the Soviet Army that is in central Vienna, and I'm curious whether anywhere else has something like that.
@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 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!
@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.
