Germany still exhibits Fascist sculptures

www.dw.com Why a German museum is putting two Nazi sculptures on show – DW – 05/29/2023

Hitler commissioned thousands of artworks, often to symbolize the strength of his Nazi regime. They include two bronze statues of horses that will now be exhibited in a Berlin museum.

In fact, plenty of [Fascist] propaganda sculptures remain in public spaces, such as in Berlin's Olympic Stadium, commissioned by the [Fascist] régime for the 1936 Olympics. Ahead of the World Cup in 2006, for which the stadium was one of the venues, some activists called for the removal of its statues. However, the city refused on the grounds that a removal would be a denial of Germany's history.

(Emphasis added. Compare this with the pushback against modern antifascist artwork, or, more obviously, the destruction of Communist statues, links to which you’ll probably find in the ‘EXPLORE MORE’ section.)

But bring it up and you get hit with "Yeah well there are still Lenin and Stalin statues in Russia" as if the two are comparable.
We often hear about "denazification of Germany" post-war, but the more I live, the more it's starting to look like a complete fabrication. There was no denazification. There was barely an attempt.
