    A little off topic

    I learned from a friend that the a fight scene from the Honor Goblet Lw in three dimensions has been transferred to the monument in honor of General Maczek / commander of the 1st Polish Armoured Division in the composition of the 2nd Canadian Corps which no loss civilian population liberated this city / in the Dutch Breda. A beautiful monument.

      I detest Nazism but the symbols they used were powerful and very artistic IMO. It is good to see the artistic aspect of the regime finding good use elsewhere. A very fine memorial IMO.

          From Wikipedia:

          General Stanisław Maczek ([staˈɲiswav ˈmat͡ʂɛk]; 31 March 1892 – 11 December 1994) was a Polish tank commander of World War II, whose division was instrumental in the Allied liberation of France, closing the Falaise pocket, resulting in the destruction of 14 German Wehrmacht and SS divisions. A veteran of World War I, the Polish-Ukrainian and Polish-Bolshevik Wars, Maczek was the commander of Poland's only major armoured formation during the September 1939 campaign, and later commanded a Polish armoured formation in France in 1940. He was the commander of the famous First Polish Armoured Division, and later of the First Polish Army Corps under Allied Command in 1942-45

          I'm with you guys, that's why I generally stick to military v. political awards.

            No one talks about politics. I showed only eagles fight scene from the Honor Goblet Lw transferred on monument . Indeed a strange that it is a monument of Polish Major General , but unsearchable are the judgments of God.

              The two fighting eagles have nothing particular with the Third Reich to do.
              The same symbol was used during the first world war and eagles are used to symbolize air men all around the world.

              Here is a small statue from WW1.

                Ludwig,

                A very nice Naval Ehrenpreis. Is this yours? If so can you post better pictures?
