WW2 monuments
I thought it would be nice to have a thread for information and present day photos on the monuments dedicated to various aspects of the Second World War and to get it started, here are two photos of a momument on Rhodes to the memory of those who died fighting the Axis forces in the Aegan 1943-1945.

Great idea for a thread.
Here are my photographs of the Soviet War Memorial in Berlin at the Tiergarten. The marble used to make the memorial was taken from the ruins of Hitler's Reich Chancellery:


This T-34 which also stands at the memorial is said to be the first Russian tank to have entered Berlin (although this is probably a myth)

I hope you have enjoyed these photographs.
Best regards,

memorials
here's a few from my visits to Berlin
the first is part of the Bendlerblock memorial to the July 20th plotters
the second is a small memorial plaque at the Friedrichstrasse Bahnhof for two "young german soldiers hung by inhuman SS bandits" near war's end
the third are three "stolpersteinen" for the three members of the Jastrow family (Father, Mother and Daughter) deported to Riga in 1941 and murdered
the large grand monuments/memorials are one thing but it is the smaller ones you accidently encounter during your travels that really catch my interest
more to follow if there's interest
