Hitler Statues
Hitler Statues
Watching the fall of Saddam Hussian's statues being brought down in Iraq made me wonder if Hitler had any of himself around Germany during the rule of the Third Reich. If so are there any images or film footage of them available?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I don't believe there were any statues of Hitler ever. he was too practical for that. much for the same reasons that he never moved into the presidential estate and worked out of the 'brown house' (he wanted the palace to be completed for the new reich and the future of the leadership, which he would have used upon its completion as a vehicle of the Nazi government, just as any later leader would). he followed that fascist line of thought that he was doing the work of the state, not that his person was greater than the state in its formation.
I think Saddam had so many statues, because of his role-model; Stalin. who had more statues made of himself than any leader in history

Statutes
I don't think that Hitler had any large outdoor statues of himself that were like the one of Saddam in Baghdad. As mentioned, there were many busts, heads, desk-size figures, and bas-relief plaques, but no outdoor statues.
Apparently there was a limit to his meglomania .
