Only 70 years too late.

Only 70 years too late.

If you like to see history destroyed, I bet you'd be excited about these pieces of history that were lost too:

San Diego Aerospace Museum (1978): Fire destroyed 55 aircraft, historical artifacts, archives.

or maybe:

Yankee Air Museum, Michigan (2004): Fire destroyed its 50,000-square-foot museum hangar, at least four aircraft, and numerous WWII aviation artifacts.

Those historical artifacts should all be destroyed!

Easy there Ghost Rider the pattern is full…

That’s a stupid false equivalency. There was no reason it should’ve become a tourist attraction They should’ve burned it to the ground the day they found it.

We should write down everything that man ever did so it’s never forgotten and then erase from the planet everything he ever touched.

That is a decision for the people of Germany and Austria to decide.  We, Amerikaners have to respect their decisions even if we disagree with them.

Let's wait until the investigation concludes accidental fire or arson.

I don’t care what the investigation comes back. The end result was a win.

Using your logic, you can say the same thing for people here in the usa

Good idea! We can start by burning books! I think we should find every copy of the book he wrote/touched that Churchill read and burn it so that people can't read something as historical as that!

By your response, it's time for the pharaohs again.  When a new one is on the throne, then all works of the previous is destroyed for removal of memory.

It's important to be objective of history by being no part of the history in question.  We're you a member of Easy Company that captured the Eagle's Nest.  What is your personal connection?

Lessons can only be learned with evidence.  Evidence is a tool.  The wielder of the tool determines the lesson.  What is the lesson you wish to wield with the tool?

I agree. I think the evidence should be preserved whether it's good or bad so that anybody who wants to can examine it.

[Meatwad]

Some reports are saying that they will rebuild it

Germany did quite a bit after the war to make sure some things were not memorialized. I think it is important to preserve things from a historical perspective, and it is possible to do so without sensationalizing it.

Great movie imo. Comedy with a warning.

Sometimes you just don't see how a post in AH3 is going to go......

Mostly I posted this for all the old guys here who were stationed in Europe during the Cold War era. If you were one of them you'd probably have been here to Berchtesgaden; it was a US Army Recreation center up until 1995.

I heard Bad Wiessee (where Hartman got married) got torn down too.
