Why doesn't Germany build monuments to Adolph Hitler?

[Missourian]

A new Confederate Memorial to the 5th Regiment of the Missouri Infantry (Confederate) was recently established.

Some history...

After all, Hitler is part of their heritage. And he didn't try to destroy Germany.

Today's Confederate Republicans vigorously fight to keep Confederate Monuments put up decades after their bid to destroy the United States and keep millions enslaved. They insist it's part of their "heritage".

Hitler never enslaved anyone and didn't try to destroy his own country. True, they did kill millions of Jews. But the numbers are unknown how many blacks were killed under Confederates in the Deep South. Some would argue that dead is better than being a slave.

So should Germany put up monuments to Hitler? After all, it's been decades since WWII.

Generally monuments are not constructed to honor people just because they are part the heritage of a nation. Most moments are constructed to honor those who the people at the time felt they desired the honor. I seriously doubt that many Germans after the WWII devastation of the homeland felt any honor should be bestowed on the man that lead the country into a war that destroyed the nation.

felt any honor should be bestowed on the man that lead the country into a war that destroyed the nation.

Good reason to not have Confederate Monuments

Thankx!

In the South for nearly a hundred years after the civil war, confederate leaders were considered heroes and the North did little to discourage that view. In Mississippi, Confederate Memorial Day was celebrated with speeches, fireworks pick nicks. So throughout the South you see streets, monuments, schools, ect, honoring the heroes of the confederacy.

There's really is no parallel in Germany. Due to pressure from the allies and release of information on the atrocities in Germany coupled with a lot of propaganda, Nazism and Hitler became taboo in the nation. After the war, there was a deafening silence about what happen over the last 20 years. "Don't mention the war," was the basic mantra, which the British comedian John Cleese brilliantly satirized in the 1970s classic BBC TV comedy "Fawlty Towers". No one was about to build statues to Hilter in those days.

Not until the 1960's did German youth begin to question the collective amnesia regarding the Nazi crimes. They also refused to buy the popular legend of an evil demon called Hitler who single-handedly seduced and betrayed an innocent German people who knew nothing about the atrocities the Wehrmacht and the SS committed. In the 1970's, kids in school began learning about the largely hidden history of Germany in 1930's and 40's.

Today the only Germans that want a statue of Hilter are the Neo-nazi minority. Most Germans today will discuss the war but it's regarded as one of the darker periods in their history much like black lynching in South.

No parallel? Nazi's killed people. Confederates enslaved and killed and tried to destroy the country. In a way, Confederates were even worse than awful.

It's not surprising that pop-culture educated lefties would compare the 19th century American conflict over states rights with the 20th century German Holocaust attempt to conquer Europe but that's what you get when the U.S. education system teaches kids to put a condom on a banana and not much about history..

By no parallel, I mean there has been no real attempt in Germany to immortalize Hitler or his henchmen. In the South honoring confederate leaders was a tradition for over a hundred years. It wasn't until the mid 20th century and the civil rights movement that there was any real opposition.

Actually, they didn't even build those monuments to destruction, hate and slavery until civil rights laws for blacks were passed decades after the war. Surely you know that. Those monuments were only built to intimate blacks. Republicans, to this day, hate black people. Look at what Republicans on the USMB write about blacks.

Most of the civil war monuments in the South were built between 1900 and 1925. Very few monuments were built after the 1950's and only a few date back as far as the 1880's.

I think Mt. Whitney should be re-renamed Mt. Reagan and in 20 years or so, Denali to Mt. Trump.

not a good analogy
1. the Confederates were in a civil war.---hilter was involved in wars/etc outside of Germany
2. the Confederates didn't systematically murder whole races/groups/etc of people

AND-3. hitler never enslaved anyone?? --you must not know anything about hitler /WW2 because he enslaved hundreds of thousands.....and didn't care if Germany was destroyed
..in fact, instead of surrendering and seeing it was useless to keep fighting as it would destroy Germany--he kept fighting

slave labor:
Slave Labor in Concentration Camps, Intro
'''The use of forced labour in Nazi Germany and throughout German-occupied Europeduring World War II took place on an unprecedented scale'''
Forced labour under German rule during World War II - Wikipedia

..plus in the occupied countries they forced civilians to work for Germany

'''By the end of 1943 more than 11.000 people worked in the tunnels, a figure that would rise to over 40.000 by the end of the war. There were about 3.000 German technicians employed, the rest were slave laborers'''
'''... Later, the slave workers were sent on a death march'''
. Underground factory Mittelwerk
they worked many long hours with little food


'''Germany will either be a world power or will not be at all'''
.Adolf Hitler Quotes

he invaded a country with a population almost DOUBLE Germany's
land area MUCH greater than Germany
---obviously not looking out for the good of Germany
