Oh for crying out loud!

He does know the Arc de Triomphe was built to honor those who fought & died for France during the French Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars right? Wait, of course he doesn’t. In fact all the Archs of Triumph are monuments. What’s this a monument for, oh yeah, himself. He truly does fancy himself a Roman emperor doesn’t he?

Ugh.

@Nonilex have you heard about the construction plans Hitler and his lead architect Speer had for Berlin?
They wanted to build Germania. And, guess what, it also featured an arc.

Obviously, construction was started and then stopped due to the ongoing war. Some remains of this huge restructuring of Berlin is still visible today.
