The monument was originally planned to commemorate Prussia’s victory over Denmark in 1864, but with the defeats of Austria in 1866 and France in 1870-71 following in such rapid succession, it ended up celebrating those victories, and the founding of the German empire in 1871, as well.
The Victory Column was built between 1865 and 1873. It was moved to its present location by the Nazi government in 1938-39 as part of the plan supervised by the regime’s chief architect, Albert Speer, to rebuild the German capital.
Now here's a guy who wants no preconditions on discussions with our enemies, but who doesn't mind pissing off Israel and the Jews. Of course it is a nice sop to the radical Muslims who share Hitlers hatred of the Jews as well as other Jew haters in Europe, Germany and the world.
Do we want a candidate for President speaking in front of such symbol?
