When the German battleship Bismarck was sunk, British warships, who only minutes before were firing on it, rescued over 100 survivors. A British midshipman even risked his own life attempting to save a German sailor. But that wasn't all.

1 survivor died the next day due to his wounds. The British performed a burial at sea, w/full military honors. They allowed the German survivors to bid farewell to their comrade, even lent a harmonica so one could perform "Ich Hatt' Einen Kameraden."

Even some of the British sailors cried during the memorial. An unbelievable display of humanity. Keep in mind - Bismarck sunk HMS Hood, taking 1,418 Brits down w/it. & yet, in that moment, all hard feelings were put aside to honor one man who fought on the wrong side of the war.

These men saw so much death, nobody could blame them for being nihilistic. Yet somehow, they never lost their humanity. They understood the enemy is still a human being. & once the fighting stops, you let the hard feelings go. Men of honor, really.

The people taking down the Reconciliation Monument are savages. They don't know anything about honor. They have little humanity. They'll piss on graves if they can get away w/it. They'll dig up the bodies of their own ancestors if it means they get to be part of the ruling class.

So yeah, take all the statues down. Those who destroy can't build, anyway. In the end, all they'll prove is that they can't do better than savages.
