Commemorating the 1813 defeat of Napoleon by the Prussians and allies, this memorial was also the site of one of Hitler&#039;s early Nazi rallies. The rotunda interior sports massive sculptures of barbarian warriors with their heads bowed toward a memorial in the center.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6lkerschlachtdenkmal" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6lkerschlachtdenkmal" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%B6lkerschlachtdenkmal</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I assume the warrior looking guy is either one of the warriors depicted on the memorial or<span style="color: #000000">archangel Michael </span></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1c/Vsdinandout.JPG/800px-Vsdinandout.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>any help with translation or a reference to another example would be great.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
