  • The monument was blown up not by the russians, but by engineers of the retreating german army in early 1945.

    The symbol of germanies national pride and victory was not supposed to fall in the hand of the bolshevists.

    The coffin (burried in Tannenberg) of v. Hindenburg got evacuated to the west of the Reich earlier, to my knowledge to Marburg/Lahn.

  • It was a harder job than they thought. So they only blew a few holes in the walls, before retreating from the advancing russian forces. The russians later exploded more bombs on the place, left it a ruin for decades, before dismantling the place completely.

  • Hindenburg is the man.

  • @dudemantwo

    Ludendorff was raised Christian, but later left church and set up his

    own religion or better anit-religion Deutschvolk. He asked his fol-

    lowwers to search themselves for the right answers and said

    religion no matter if christian, buddhist,, jewish...is only something

    invented by secret leaders to enslave the nations and people.

    I fear Ludendorff was absolutely right.

  • Battle of Grunwald,near what they said to be Tannenberg in 1914.Biggest battle of all the Middle Ages.Polish smashing victory overy Germans in 1410.The Germans promoted the name Tannenberg because they didn't want the world to know about their shamefull defeat at the hands of the Poles:that's why Tannenberg instead of Grunwald.

  • I didnt know cameras were invented in 1410

  • @dudemantwo Both were protestant

  • Was Hindenberg a Protestant?

    Was Ludendorf a Protestant? Anyone know?

  • @fearrsingetrech One more gay pretender to be savior of 3 Rich.

  • Jeder Schuss ein Russ!

    Jeder Stoss ein Franzoss!

    Jeder Tritt ein Britt!

  • I like the part when the little girl writes about how Hindenberg is a hero.... shame about what happened later.
