#3 I guess you could say he was the original denazifier. Just never you mind about all the other stuff he did or the price that Russians paid for it.

But the irony is how in this country statues of our Founding Fathers are being torn down.

#4 Maybe Antifa would be happy with a statue of Stalin in Washington DC...or maybe Hitler. It's so hard to tell with these people.

#7 Who, what, where, and....

WHY. Why was the Why left out?
Of all the sources, why cite the source that doesnt answer the WHY.

WHY the statue?

Because. Soviets!!!

No. Because it's 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the battle of Stalingrad — a key turning point in World War II - being that it was Hilter's first defeat.

#8 No. Because it's 80th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the battle of Stalingrad — a key turning point in World War II - being that it was Hitler's first defeat.

The Battle for Moscow in December 1041 was Hitler's first defeat.

#12 Remember the Donner und Blitzen
Inflicted on kids in Tsaritsyn...
But never the pain
Of the starving Ukraine
Robbed by communist Ivans, not Fritzen!
